Make recurring customer themes easier to find in Canny
When a conversation confirms a useful theme, send it to Notis to tag the matching post with a tag your team already uses.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add Post Tag
Tool to add a tag to a specific post. use when you need to categorize or group content by applying an existing tag.
Why this helps
Recurring themes are harder to spot when posts are not consistently categorized after customer conversations.
- Make related feedback easier to group and review.
- Apply an existing label based on supplied conversation evidence.
- Avoid creating new categories when the right tag already exists.
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 existing tag to use, how to identify the post, and to apply it only when the submitted notes support the theme.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real post and theme that match an existing tag.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a tag if one does not exist?
No. The action adds an existing tag to a post. Use a separate tag-creation action if a new label is needed.
What if the notes do not clearly support a theme?
Tell Notis to skip the tag when the submitted evidence is ambiguous.
