Why this helps
Support details get separated from product discussions and are hard to find later.
- Keep evidence beside the relevant product request
- Reduce repeated status checks between teams
- Make product discussions more grounded in customer language
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Zendesk and Canny in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that finds the related Canny post and adds a concise comment from each new Zendesk ticket.
- 3Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and select a report destination.
- 4Test with one ticket that clearly relates to an existing Canny post.
Questions about this workflow
What if no matching Canny post is found?
Tell Notis in the prompt to report the unmatched ticket for review instead of creating an unrelated comment.
Can the comment include the full ticket?
Yes, but a concise summary with the key customer request is usually easier for a product team to act on.
