Trigger

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

Decisions get lost in task history and are hard to find when someone revisits the original request.

  • Preserves decision context
  • Makes future review faster
  • Reduces repeated discussions

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Tasks and Canny in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to add a concise decision comment to the referenced Canny post when changed task details contain an explicit product decision.
  • 4Pick Task Details Changed as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with one decision update.

Questions about this workflow

Can the workflow ignore ordinary edits?

Yes. Tell Notis to comment only when the task contains an explicit decision marker.

Can the comment include the decision owner?

Yes, if that information is present in the task and you ask Notis to include it.
