Similar to https://feedback.canny.io/feature-requests/p/being-able-to-vote-on-behalf-of-your-users, except for creating posts.

Just a heads-up that
this is now allowed via the Canny API!
The endpoint
/api/v1/posts/create
receives a param named
authorID
, so whichever user is passed on that param will be the author of the post.

Posting on behalf of users is now live! Thank you for helping us improve Canny.
When creating a new post in Canny, you'll see a field where you can specify who the feedback is coming from (defaults to yourself if left blank).
When published, you'll see the post author is the selected user as well as a note about which admin created the post.
Enjoy!

Hi guys. I'm Mert, engineer at Canny. I will work on this task and hopefully I will ship it on the following weeks.

Add visual cue when post created on behalf
L
Lemon Bear
It would be nice to have a visual cue on the public side to show that a post was created by an admin on behalf of a user. Something subtle and nice to avoid us having to write "requested by user", etc.
This is a simple step towards https://feedback.canny.io/feature-requests/p/be-able-to-post-on-behalf-of-your-users

Add the user as post author when voting on behalf

We want to be able to add the user as the post author when creating on their behalf. It's odd if all of the posts and coming from myself and we tend to just cut and paste from the support ticket.

Ditto. This is the primary use case we want Canny for.

This would be great! Especially with the Intercom integration as all our user ideas are attributed against our name as staff, people might start to think we only put in our own ideas to Canny. 😂

Would be great if you could also specify a new email address, and have that create a user account and send an invite email.

We should be able to add an email address when adding a user to a task/creating a task.
