Give new research themes a shared label
When a new theme is clear enough to track, create its label once so related feedback can be grouped consistently.
Trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action

Tool to create a new tag. use when you have the boardid and tag name and need to categorize posts.
Why this helps
Teams improvise inconsistent labels when a useful new research theme appears.
- Create a shared label for an emerging theme.
- Make future feedback easier to group.
- Reduce inconsistent ad hoc categorization.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ContactOut and Canny to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create a Canny tag only when a new research theme is confirmed and the tag does not already exist.
- 3Select an incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one confirmed theme and check that the tag name is clear and non-duplicative.
