Create Canny explainers for new absence balances
A new balance plan gets a clear explainer thread before confusion builds.
Trigger
New Absence Balance
Triggers when a new absence balance record becomes available for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's absence balances and detects when new balance records appear (e.g., a new plan/bucket becomes available). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare balance record IDs between polls.
Action
Create Post
Tool to create a new post on a board. use when you have the boardid and userid and need to submit new feedback.
Why this helps
New balance buckets can appear without a shared explanation, leading to repeated questions and support work.
- Explain new plans consistently
- Collect questions in one place
- Reduce repetitive support

- 2Create an automation describing the explainer post and privacy-safe context.
- 3Pick New Absence Balance as the Workday trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one new balance record.
Questions about this workflow
Can the post be anonymized?
Yes. Ask Notis to describe the plan without identifying the worker.
Can it use an existing explainer post?
Use the update action instead when a matching Canny post already exists.
