Comment Added

The Comment Added trigger activates whenever a comment is added to an item. This trigger is useful for workflows where comments are added through a custom interface and a follow-up action is required—such as notifying a stakeholder.

The conditions available in this trigger are detailed in Conditions.

Turn Trigger Block On or Off

By default, trigger blocks are enabled and turned on. Select the toggle in the top right of the trigger panel to disable or turn it off.

Run Settings

Select the relevant checkbox to enable the trigger to activate under various conditions:

  • Run also on inner items - Trigger conditions evaluate on inner items in addition to parent items.

Activate Trigger When

Add a condition group to define the conditions that determine when the trigger activates:

Add a Condition Group

In addition to defining individual conditions that activate a trigger, you can create a condition group that combines several related conditions. Condition groups allow you to organize complex conditions for the sake of visibility (for example, you might have three AND conditions that must be met and five OR conditions that can be met, which can be organized in two separate groups).

  1. In the Activate Trigger When section, select + AND. The condition options dropdown displays.

  3. Select the default name, New Conditions Group, or the pencil icon, blue_edit_pencil.png, to rename the condition group.

  4. Select the dropdown to choose to run the trigger when All or At least one of the conditions are met. This option defaults to All.

    Selecting All makes the condition inclusive, adding an + AND button to the bottom of the section, while selecting At least one makes the conditions exclusive, adding an + OR button.
