Is it possible to export a list of record comments from a base? I need to be able to summarize and track comments without reviewing each record.

Any updates on this? is there a way to view/summarize and report on comments? This would be a key feature for enabling clients to comment on records and then provide a detailed report based on the comments. Opening each record to view comments just doesn’t work.

Thanks, keep up the good work!

Based on the overwhelming response @Scott_Beckman, does not seem to be a way unfortunately. If this could be done, we would be able to use Airtable as our CRM without creating a Long Text Field COMMENTS field

Would love to have this feature. It should be a fairly simple feature to implement. It would even be great if we can export it for individual records.

Just wanted to add a +1 for making this possible. In my use case, the comments contain vital details related to status and decisions about each record. Not having that information available outside of the UI really hampers some activities we’d like to do in terms of integration and automation.

I'm late to the party here but this might be useful: https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/list-comments

I actually built an app around this.

It lets you select the base and table, pull in the records, and then filter the comments by date, commenter, or even keywords. You can check it out here - https://viewsandbases.com/comment-exporter
