How businesses use Canny + Lyro

Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Canny actions Lyro runs to close it.

  • Turn a feature request in chat into a Canny post

    Lyro matches the customer to their Canny profile or creates one, files the request on the right board in their own wording, and records their vote so weight builds behind it immediately.

    Create or Update UserCreate PostCreate Vote
  • Check whether the idea is already on the board

    Before filing anything, Lyro searches existing posts, reads the board they belong to, and counts the votes already recorded, so a customer hears that their request exists rather than creating a duplicate.

  • Keep the board tagged and readable

    Lyro applies the existing tag to a post, creates a new one when a theme keeps recurring, and corrects titles, details, or ETAs that came in incomplete.

    Add Post TagCreate TagUpdate Post
  • Close the loop when the request ships

    Lyro moves the post to its new status and notifies the people who voted, comments with the detail behind the decision, and publishes the changelog entry announcing the release.

How it works

Get started in 3 steps

Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Canny actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.

  1. 01

    Connect Canny

    Authorize the Canny account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.

  2. 02

    Tell your agent what you need

    Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Canny actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.

  3. 03

    Watch it work

    The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Canny

Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Canny.

  • The customer's. Canny requires an authorID on posts, comments, and votes, so Lyro calls Create or Update User first - matching on email, userID, or Canny id - and attributes the post to that person. The feedback shows up as theirs, not as a generic integration account.
