Move from Canny to FigVote: import posts and votes

Import Canny's CSV or JSON export: posts, statuses, tags, dates, public comments, and votes as '+N earlier' with no fake voters. Step by step.

Step by step

  1. Export your posts from Canny as CSV, or as JSON with Canny's API (the JSON includes comments).
  2. In FigVote, open Settings, then "Import from Canny", and choose the file and the board the posts go to.
  3. Check the preview of what will be written, then import.

What comes over

  • Posts, with their status (custom statuses become Open), tags and original dates
  • Vote counts, shown as "+N earlier"
  • Public comments, from the JSON export

What stays behind

  • Voters and authors
  • Images

Good to know

  • Nothing is saved before the preview; a second import skips the posts already there
  • Posts from private Canny boards go to a private board, or are left out

FigVote is in the F*ckSubscription bundle with every other app, paid once.
