This automation pulls comments (a.k.a. record activity or history) from Airtable records and saves them into a long text field inside the same record. This makes comments accessible as part of your Airtable data.
Why this is useful
• Airtable comments are not part of the exportable dataset.
• They’re not accessible in Airtable views or formulas.
• This makes them hard to use in reporting, backups, or integrations.
How it works
1. Select your Airtable base and table.
2. Choose a target field (long text field) where you want the comments copied.
3. Our system uses the Airtable API to fetch all internal comments for each record.
4. Comments are copied into the long text field.
5. New comments get added automatically.
Common use cases
• Backing up comments for compliance.
• Creating a “communication log” field.
• Sending comment history in automated emails.
• Syncing comment content to other tools via Zapier/Make.
