Instructions

1. Trigger – A New Vote in Canny:
Whenever someone votes for a post or suggestion in Canny, this workflow is triggered. It checks for new votes every 15 minutes and starts working as soon as it finds one.

Example:
If a customer votes for a new feature request, this workflow will catch that vote.

2. Find the Page in Notion by Title:
The workflow takes the title of the post from Canny and searches for the matching page in your Notion database. This helps in finding the correct entry that needs to be updated.

Example:
If the feature is called “Add dark mode,” the workflow will look for the “Add dark mode” page in your database.

3. Update the Database in Notion:
Once the correct page is found, the workflow updates the vote count or other details in Notion. This way, you always have the latest information in one place.

✅ Best Practices

✔ Make sure your titles in Canny and Notion are consistent so they match correctly.
✔ Add helpful fields like “Total Votes” or “Last Updated” to keep track of changes easily.
✔ Test the workflow with sample votes before using it live.
