For teams passing in company data to Canny, your customers can now access a new "My Teams" filter. This shows all feedback that the viewer's teammates have posted or voted on.
my-teams
This helps when you have few main points of contact across many people on an account. They can now be aware of what their colleagues have requested.
This feature is available for teams on all Canny plans!
You can now use custom field values as conditions in Canny Automation! For example:
  1. When "Product Area" custom field is "Dashboard" or "Reporting", tag "Analytics"
  2. When "Urgency" custom field is "High", change status to "Under Review"
  3. When "Platform" is "iOS" or "Android", tag "Mobile"

Head to your automation settings to configure automations in Canny.
This feature is available for teams on Canny Growth and above.
Two new filtering options are now available in the Feedback view! Learn more
filter
Filter posts by company
Instead of searching for companies via the Users tab, you can now do it directly from the Feedback view.
For example:
  • Product managers can look up VIP customers to understand key use cases and needs
  • Customer success managers can pull up a specific account during renewal conversations to see all of their requests that are complete
Filter posts by account owner
This is an easy way to get an overview of what a specified account owner’s accounts are interested in.
For example:
  • Salespeople can report on what the most common asks are from their prospects
  • Customer success managers can check in on the status of requests from their accounts
The account owner field must have a value for this to work. Learn more about company fields
These filters are available for teams on any plan! Learn more

Permissions updates

We've made a couple improvements to admin permissions in Canny.
New permission: View user details
The Users tab in Canny contains personally identifiable information (PII) like email addresses. This permission allows you to specify which admins should have access to that information.
Permission update: "Manage teammates" is now free
Some teams have IT people who are responsible for managing admins in Canny. They do not use any Canny functionality. Therefore, we have made the "Manage teammates" permission free so these admins don't count as a paid seat.

Admin roles are available on Canny Growth and above.

We're super excited to share Autopilot with you!
Autopilot refers to Canny's suite of AI-powered features. You may have seen our releases for Smart Replies and Comment Summaries. Today, we're adding feedback discovery to the mix!
discovery
We all know tracking customer feedback is important. However, that doesn't need to be done manually. Autopilot automatically detects feedback in customer conversations so you can stay focused on uncovering insights.
How feedback discovery works
Head to your Autopilot settings to enable sources you want to extract feedback from.
Have feedback coming in from different sources? Send text in via our API endpoint and Canny will detect feedback there as well.
How credits work
Every Canny plan has a number of free credits each month. If you run out of credits and want to continue processing customer conversations for feedback, you'll need to buy credits. Head to your new Autopilot billing settings to set up your credit limit.
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback while Autopilot was in beta 💛 We're looking forward to even more feedback moving forward!
