Automated Canny Feature Request Triage
Every Monday, WebRun opens Canny, finds the posts that gained the most votes in the past week, creates a Trello card for each one that crosses your review threshold, and sends your product lead a WhatsApp summary of what moved up.
How do I turn Canny's top feature requests into a product backlog automatically?
WebRun reviews your Canny board every Monday, finds the posts that gained the most votes in the past week, and adds the ones crossing your threshold as Trello cards for product triage. It then sends your product lead a WhatsApp summary of what moved up, turning a week of customer voting into a ready, ranked backlog.
- Top customer requests reach the backlog every Monday without manual review
- Product leads get a ranked summary instead of scrolling the whole board
- Already-planned posts never create duplicate backlog cards
Built for product managers · SaaS product teams · startup founders · customer-led product teams

Questions, answered
Does WebRun reply to users on their Canny post?
No. WebRun never posts publicly on Canny. It only creates internal Trello cards and messages your own product lead.
How does it decide which posts make the backlog?
It reads each post's votes gained over the last 7 days in Canny and only adds the ones that cross the review threshold you set.
What happens to posts that are already planned?
It reads each post's current status in Canny and skips anything already marked planned or in progress, so the board stays free of duplicates.
