Bring Jira Work Context into Canny
Give feedback discussions a direct update when a related Jira issue is created.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
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
Canny voters and teammates may not know that a feedback request has become active Jira work.
- Make new implementation work visible in feedback discussions.
- Reduce manual status explanations to stakeholders.
- Keep the Jira reference close to the Canny request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Canny once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, then New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to find the Canny post linked to a new Jira issue and comment with a concise update and the issue reference.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Jira issue linked to a Canny post.
Questions about this workflow
Can this add a comment to any Canny post?
The action requires a post ID and author ID. The instruction should use a clear link from the Jira issue to the intended Canny post.
Will comments on Jira issues trigger this workflow?
No. This workflow uses the New Issue event, which fires when an issue is created in the configured project.
