Why this helps
Feedback status goes stale because teams do not revisit posts when new evidence appears.
- Keep prioritization current
- Surface new evidence to voters
- Reduce stale backlog states
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect YouTube and Canny in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Activity based Canny status review.
- 3Tell Notis to find related Canny posts and change their status when the new activity provides clear evidence, explaining the decision in the report.
- 4Pick New YouTube Activity as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one relevant activity.
Questions about this workflow
Will every post status change?
No. Instruct Notis to update only posts clearly related to the activity and supported by the evidence.
Can voters be notified?
Ask Notis to use the Canny status action's notification option when appropriate.
