Why this helps
Search frustrations are often scattered across sessions and never become a clear product request.
- Gather observations into one weekly review.
- Separate repeated workflow friction from one-off inconvenience.
- Create a readable product request with concrete examples.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ContactOut and Canny to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that reviews this week's discovery friction and turns a repeated obstacle into a Canny post.
- 3Pick a weekly cron schedule and a channel for run reports.
- 4Review the first summary and confirm the post reflects a real recurring obstacle.
Questions about this workflow
Can the schedule run only once a week?
