Hi @TroyTessalone

Be sure to fill in the form for this, as the Airtable team doesn’t really follow this community for product suggestions.

Thanks for the link. I’ve just requested the following;

Automation Triggers from new comments, with the ability to filter @users mentioned in new comments.

Automation Actions that allow for the Automation to post a comment. Example, I’m in an interface and I click an interface button, which then triggers an Automation that posts a comment to that record.

This is the one thing I miss from Monday.com so far. In our "Deal Tracker" board we log interactions as comments, and then have comment updates trigger a timestamp called "Last Touched" so we can see at a glance when we last followed up with prospects. Simply using "Last Modified" is insufficient; we need to log a category of interactions that are more specific.

This is so needed! 
I can't believe it's been 3 years since this idea was requested and there isn't even a field such as "participants" which should be very easy to use to know all the people commenting/participating in the record.

Please add this!

Seconded^^ this needs to be a feature.

Although in fairness, you can create/recreate the behavior using interfaces.

This feature would cut out so much faff. Currently we solve this issue by using Zapier to intercept the email notification about a new comment on a record and then send that back to Slack. It would be so much cleaner and easier to manage if it was all self-contained within Airtable.

As a project manager, I want to know when someone comments on an interface so that I can incorporate their feedback or re-prioritize accordingly. As it stands, I need to manually look through my data (or interface) to see if there are new comments.

Agreed! Having comment tags send messages in Slack would be perfect for our team. I'm adding the request now.
