Feedback pours in from support tickets, sales calls, review sites, and user interviews. It quickly becomes overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spreadsheets grow messy. The loudest customer often wins, even if their request doesn&#8217;t drive business value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guessing game leads to roadmaps driven by gut feelings. Customers start believing their feedback disappears into a black hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canny solves this by collecting, organizing, and prioritizing feedback in one central place. Its flexibility means it adapts to different team workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how eight companies use Canny to transform their feedback management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Automatically capture feature requests from support tickets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Typeform<\/strong> is a SaaS platform for creating forms and surveys. They faced a challenge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 1,600 support tickets came in every week. Many of them filled with useful feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feature requests were getting lost in Zendesk. There was no easy way to spot patterns or set priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They tried <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/features\/autopilot\">Canny Autopilot<\/a>. It pulls feature requests from Zendesk, tags them, and removes duplicates. This saved hours of manual work and made sure no good feedback got missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Autopilot identified 93% of the feature requests correctly.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Lauren Corboy, Lead Onboarding Expert at <a href=\"https:\/\/canny.io\/blog\/autopilot-experiment-with-typeform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Typeform<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result? Way more accurate feature requests and way less time sorting tickets. That freed up the Typeform team to focus on building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; width: 100%;\">\n  <div class=\"hs-cta-embed hs-cta-simple-placeholder hs-cta-embed-165946149675\"\n    style=\"max-width:100%; max-height:100%; width:650px;height:274.21875px\" data-hubspot-wrapper-cta-id=\"165946149675\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com\/web-interactives\/public\/v1\/track\/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJr6dIm8%2B%2B%2Bsoi1fLlzyCHfovV0aDhv7ThyDziscjG38KLManITJQIIqxEEwUEnFMjPMCNVRszT1EMfyMnGQzK6OJD8uF%2B4zLj%2FbcMxWtuiaqFt%2B0EA69SNusQn5gp808T38Zq%2Fi3iYb0RWIze9DZk1RpomnKB2v%2BWDeb0%3D&#038;webInteractiveContentId=165946149675&#038;portalId=5705808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\">\n      <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Get unlimited access-1\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/5705808\/interactive-165946149675.png\" style=\"height: 100%; width: 100%; object-fit: fill\"\n        onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" \/>\n    <\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centralize feedback in private boards to eliminate guesswork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watershed<\/strong> struggled with feature requests scattered across many channels. Prioritization was driven by gut feelings, not data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Canny, Watershed set up one simple hub for feature requests. Every customer-facing team could now log feedback in the same place. That broke down silos and gave the team a clear view of what customers actually needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>&#8220;We finally speak with real data instead of &#8216;vibes&#8217;.&#8221; <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em>Hayley Young, Product Ops at <a href=\"https:\/\/watershed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watershed<\/a><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That shift helped Watershed move away from guesswork.

An internal team now reviews, <a href=\"https:\/\/help.canny.io\/en\/articles\/9205460-internal-roadmap-scoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scores<\/a>, and adds requests on behalf of clients.
