Add a vote
Records a user's vote on a post, for example from a customer call or a support ticket, with an optional priority (0 nice to have, 10 important, 20 must have).
Create or update a user
Makes sure a person exists in Canny, found by email, your product's user ID or Canny ID, creating them if needed and updating their name, avatar and custom fields.
Create a changelog entry
Writes a changelog entry (new, improved or fixed) as a draft, publishes it now, or schedules it, optionally linking the posts it delivers and emailing users when published.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
