Check Canny Identity for New Zendesk Users
Spot missing or inconsistent feedback identities before they create downstream confusion.
Trigger
New User Created
Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.
Action
Retrieve User
Tool to retrieve user details by canny user id, app user id, or email. use when you have exactly one identifier and need full user information. example: "retrieve user with email user@example.com"
Why this helps
Identity mismatches make customer feedback harder to attribute and follow up on.
- Find identity gaps early
- Improve attribution for future feedback
- Create a lightweight review queue for mismatches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zendesk and Canny in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that retrieves the Canny user matching each new Zendesk user's email and reports whether the profiles align.
- 3Pick New User Created as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 4Test with one new Zendesk user whose email is known.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change the Canny user?
No. It retrieves the record and reports the comparison. Use Create or Update User when a correction is needed.
What identifier should Notis use?
Use exactly one reliable identifier available in the Zendesk event, such as the user's email.
