Manually create companies
Creating insights on behalf of companies is how you keep track of which customers are interested in a feature.
If you're able to sync in company information via a data source, we highly recommend that route. See Canny Identify to set up our SDK. This way, companies are automatically created, updated (ARR changes, admin changes, etc.), and you can pass in additional fields for segmentation (e.g. billing plan, NPS score, etc.).
We're now supporting manual creation of companies so:
- Teams just starting out with Canny can see how things work without setting up syncing
- Teams who are unable to get company data into Canny have an option to do it manually
How it works
When adding an insight, you'll see an option to create a new company.

Name and domain are mandatory. Optionally include their MRR/ARR.

Selecting a user will automatically associate that user with the newly created company. Users can be unlinked from a company from the users tab.

If you start with manual creation and sync data afterwards, Canny will attempt to dedupe companies with domain name.
