Keep feedback status accurate after a canceled meeting

When a feedback or decision meeting is canceled, use the event context to update a related Canny post only if a confirmed status change is provided.

Trigger

Event Canceled or Deleted

Triggers when a Google Calendar event is cancelled or deleted. Returns minimal data: event_id, summary (if available), and cancellation timestamp.

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 canceled meeting can leave a related request in a status that no longer reflects the team's confirmed plan.

  • Prompt a status review when a relevant meeting is canceled.
  • Require an explicit status decision before changing Canny.
  • Avoid inferring a product decision from cancellation alone.

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, identify relevant feedback meetings and tell Notis to change status only when the confirmed target status and post are supplied.
  • 4Pick the Google Calendar Event Canceled or Deleted trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real canceled event that includes an explicit status decision and post reference.

Questions about this workflow

Does canceling a meeting mean the request should be closed?

No. Cancellation alone does not establish a product decision. Supply an explicit status decision and the target post.

What data does the cancellation trigger return?

It returns minimal data: event ID, summary if available, and cancellation timestamp.
