Why this helps
Teams can lose track of a Slack discussion or shared file connected to newly submitted feedback.
- Make a supplied related Slack item easier to find.
- Support quick follow-up on newly submitted feedback.
- Avoid searching or guessing when no reference is present.

- 1Connect Canny and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to star the Slack item reference supplied with the Canny feedback request and report when a reference is missing.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
