Move evidence-backed feedback forward
Let meaningful new research prompt a status review, so a useful request does not sit untouched after its evidence improves.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Change Post Status
Tool to change a post's status. use when you need to update a post's workflow stage and optionally notify voters.
Why this helps
A request may be ready for the next stage, but the status stays unchanged because nobody reconnects new evidence to it.
- Keep status aligned with new research evidence.
- Reduce manual backlog maintenance.
- Make clear readiness signals easier to act on.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ContactOut and Canny to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to change the matching post's status only when new research meets your stated evidence threshold.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook trigger and select a reporting channel.
- 4Test with one real case and verify the post, status, and voter-notification preference.
