Why this helps
An issue's scope can evolve while its Canny post describes an outdated request, leaving contributors with a confusing picture.
- Keep request context useful over time
- Reduce manual description maintenance
- Help feedback contributors understand the current scope
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Canny to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis the desired outcome.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to refresh matching Canny post details when a Linear issue change materially affects the customer-facing request summary.
- 4Pick the Issue Updated trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real issue change that should alter the feedback post description.
Questions about this workflow
Will every issue edit rewrite the post?
Specify that Notis should update details only when a change materially affects the customer-facing summary.
Can unrelated internal details be included?
Ask Notis to keep the Canny description concise and limited to information appropriate for feedback contributors.
