Comments on Record - Is there a way to get notified of a new comment?

[SPRCHRGR_Airtab]

Is there a way to get notified of a new comment on a record? Either through the API or within Airtable itself?

Hi,

Whenever you "@mention" a user in the comment box for a record they will receive an email notification.

You could also setup something using the Airtable API if you are wanting a particular email to be notified regardless of whether the user uses the "@mentions" whenever they comment.

Hey Harsh, I would like to get notified for whenever a user comments, not just with "@mentions". Would you have a high level overview of how I can accomplish this using the API? Could I create a webhook that accomplishes this?

its possible to subscribe to new comments but unfortunately it's an Enterprise only feature

[SPRCHRGR_Airtab]

Hey Jake, that's great. We're on the Enterprise plan!

Would you subscribe to new comments by creating a webhook or by using the list comments api call? In the API docs I found "list comments" but not "subscribe to new comments".

Awesome! Hit me up at skool.com/airtable if you want help setting this up

Hi @Jakewilson, may I please ask you to describe how to accomplish the 'new comments subscription' here? Interested in how to make it possible since guides seem to ignore this topic for a while
