Keep unanswered feedback discussions visible
Give open questions a visible place in the team's Slack workspace so they are less likely to be lost in the backlog.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
Why this helps
Unanswered questions in customer feedback can fade from view while teams focus on new requests.
- Highlight unresolved feedback for later review.
- Keep the existing Slack discussion easy to revisit.
- Avoid guessing at a Slack message when no matching reference is supplied.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Canny and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify unresolved questions in recent Canny feedback and star the corresponding existing Slack message when its reference is available.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis locate any Slack discussion automatically?
This action needs an existing Slack item reference. Supply the corresponding message reference or have Notis report that no matching reference was available.
Does a star mean the feedback is resolved?
No. Starring only marks the Slack item for easier access; it does not update Canny status or resolve the issue.
