Admin Voters in API

I would like to know if a vote was submitting by an admin or user themselves. It helps us understand tool adoption. When an admin submits a post on behalf of a user (which happens frequently), I want to know vs. when a user went to the site and voted independently.

We actually already have this data in our API, webhooks, and Zapier triggers. There's a
by
field on every vote object.– If the vote was recorded by an admin,
by
will contain a User object for the admin who recorded the vote.– Otherwise (if the user voted themselves),
by
will be null.Let me know if I'm missing something, but I think we've got you covered here! Sorry for the delay.

Resurfacing this: We want to send out a targeted campaign to users who haven't engaged with Canny. We have no way of knowing who actually voted vs. had their vote logged by an admin.
