Import Comments from Field turns a text value in an Airtable record into a new record comment. After the comment is created, the automation clears the source field so it can serve as a queue for the next message.
What you can do
- Read a selected Source Field for each processed record.
- Create one comment from its non-empty value.
Use cases and examples
A review workflow can place an approval note in a Pending Comment field. Running the automation moves that note into the record’s comment history and clears the queue field for later use.
- Feedback from form users: Collect feedback in an Airtable field through a miniExtensions Form, then copy it into the record’s comment history for colleagues working in Airtable.
How to get started
Select the source text field and the records to process. Test one note before running the workflow more broadly.
Good to know
The source field clears after comment creation. New comments use the connected Airtable account, rather than restoring historical authors.
