- Provide richer support context
- Reduce repeated internal questions
- Keep customer replies aligned with product discussions

- 2Create an automation that finds the related Canny post and lists its relevant comments with a short summary for support.
- 3Pick New Zendesk Ticket as the trigger and choose a report channel.
