Keep useful discovery context with the request
Attach clarifying evidence to the conversation the team already follows, without starting another scattered note.
Trigger

Action
Create Comment

Why this helps
Follow-up context from a discovery session can get lost before the product team sees it.
- Keep evidence beside the request it explains.
- Make follow-up context available to voters and teammates.
- Avoid duplicating the original feedback post.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ContactOut and Canny to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to add a concise comment to the matching Canny post when a discovery case provides new, relevant context.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a reporting channel.
- 4Test with one existing post and verify that the comment adds context without exposing personal data.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new feedback post?
No. It adds a comment to an existing post when the matching post is clear.
What if the related post is unclear?
Instruct Notis to report the ambiguity and avoid commenting until a person identifies the right post.
