Make urgent Canny feedback visible in Slack
Bring clearly time-sensitive feedback to the team's attention with a concise Slack alert and the context Canny provides.
Trigger

Action

Why this helps
Important feedback can sit unnoticed among routine feature requests and general comments.
- Surface reports that explicitly describe a serious issue or time pressure.
- Keep each alert brief and grounded in the available Canny details.
- Reduce the need to repeatedly scan feedback boards.
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 review recent Canny feedback for clearly urgent reports and post matching items to Slack with their available context.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, choose where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis know how severe a report is?
Notis can look for urgency stated in the feedback, but it cannot infer an unavailable severity field or team policy. Include your criteria in the instruction.
Will this alert arrive immediately?
This workflow runs on the schedule you select. Canny has no listed event trigger for immediate alerts.
