Make search workflow improvements actionable
Collect a month's observations into one clear product discussion, so search improvements do not compete with daily tasks for attention.
Trigger

Action
Create Post
Tool to create a new post on a board. use when you have the boardid and userid and need to submit new feedback.
Why this helps
Search workflow ideas surface during busy research and often never reach the product backlog.
- Create a predictable place to capture search ideas.
- Distill multiple observations into one useful post.
- Lower the effort of keeping the product backlog current.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ContactOut and Canny to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to review monthly search observations and create a Canny post when multiple examples support a clear improvement.
- 3Choose a monthly cron schedule and where run reports should go.
- 4Review the first post for a concise problem statement and representative evidence.
