Find the open questions hiding in Airtable comments
Make it easier to pick up unresolved discussion and keep work moving.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Comments
Retrieves all comments for a specific record in an airtable table, requiring existing `baseid`, `tableidorname`, and `recordid`.
Why this helps
Questions in long comment threads can sit unanswered because nobody remembers to reread the whole conversation.
- Surface questions that may need a reply.
- Review comments for one specified record.
- Use a concise run report to support timely follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: retrieve comments for the chosen record and identify questions that appear unanswered.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real discussion and check the surfaced questions.
Questions about this workflow
Can it know whether a question was answered elsewhere?
Only if that answer is present in the comments or other information available to Notis. Supply any outside context needed.
What identifiers are needed?
The comment lookup requires an existing base ID, table ID or name, and record ID.
