Connect company needs to product ideas
A short weekly synthesis can help turn research on the companies you serve into a product discussion your team can act on.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
Company research produces useful signals, but founders may not have time to convert them into structured product feedback.
- Spot recurring needs across company research.
- Create one focused discussion instead of many fragments.
- Keep market observations connected to product planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ContactOut and Canny to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to review this week's company research and create one Canny post only when a recurring product need is supported by evidence.
- 3Choose a weekly cron schedule and run-report channel.
- 4Review the first post to ensure it describes a customer need rather than a speculative solution.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a post for every company?
No. The instruction can require repeated evidence across companies before creating a post.
Can it include company names?
Specify whether names are appropriate; a need-based summary can often avoid identifying individual companies.
