When comment changes
Trigger workflows when comments change on records in NocoDB.
Available on NocoDB Cloud (all plans) and licensed on-premise deployments.
Triggers a workflow when a comment is added, edited, deleted, resolved, or reopened on a record in a selected table. The comment data, its author, and any mentioned people are available in the workflow context for further processing. You can narrow the trigger to specific comment events or to comments that mention particular people.
Configuration
- Table: Select the target table to monitor for comment activity.
- Comment events: Optional; select which comment events fire the workflow: Comment added, Comment edited, Comment deleted, Comment resolved, or Comment reopened. When left empty, all comment events trigger the workflow.
- Mention filter: Choose when mentions should gate the trigger:
- Any comment: Fire regardless of mentions (default).
- When anyone is mentioned: Fire only when the comment @mentions someone.
- When specific people are mentioned: Fire only when the comment @mentions one of the selected people.
- People: Shown and required only when the mention filter is set to When specific people are mentioned. Select the people who must be mentioned for the workflow to run.
How it works
- Trigger fires after the selected comment events occur
- Mention filters limit execution to comments that mention the relevant people
- Comment body, author, and mentions are passed into the workflow context
Use cases
- Notify a teammate when they are mentioned in a comment
- Route feedback to a channel when a comment is added
- Follow up automatically when a comment thread is resolved or reopened
