Keep calendar feedback changes attached to Canny posts
A changed event description may contain a useful correction or customer clarification. Have Notis add it to the matching Canny post when its references are clear.
Trigger
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
Action
Create Comment
Tool to create a new comment on a post. use when you have the authorid and postid and want to submit feedback or replies.
Why this helps
A corrected meeting detail or customer clarification can be missed when nobody remembers to update the feedback record.
- Bring meaningful changes into the feedback record promptly.
- Avoid comments for event edits that do not change the feedback.
- Require valid post and author references for the comment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which event changes count as feedback clarifications and how the Canny post and author should be identified.
- 4Pick the Google Calendar Event Updated trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event update containing a clarification and verify the comment.
Questions about this workflow
Does Event Updated return the full event?
It returns the event ID, change type, and specific fields changed with their previous and new values. Use the fields supplied by the trigger.
What if the event change does not identify a Canny post?
The comment action requires a post ID and author ID. Supply a reliable identification method in the instruction or skip the comment when those details are missing.
