Why this helps
Shipped improvements remain in internal lists and never become clear release communication.
- Speeds up release communication
- Uses existing release notes
- Creates a consistent changelog record

- 2Create a new automation and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Canny changelog entry from a task list change when the list content describes a shipped update.
- 4Pick Task List Changed as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real release list change.
Questions about this workflow
Will every list edit publish publicly?
No. Tell Notis to create or publish only when the update meets your release criteria.
Can publishing be delayed?
Yes. Ask Notis to create the entry without publishing when review is required.
