Gmail pack - show date that you clicked the button?

[ABp]

Hi @BenDavis, I was wondering if you could help me with a related request I have here:

Using a Button to Transition/Create rows, adding comments & referencing those rows

Hey Guys, I wanted to ask for some advice here: I am trying to set up some buttons to use automations to create rows. What I’d like to do is also create activity in the Comment/Activity stream around this, so I can trace this. This is connected with keeping a link between rows after one is created with a button in another: So what I’d like to do is write into the Comments stream of the newly-created row some standard annotation that “Created by ‘clicked button’ from [Originating Row]” and…

I’d like to write into a row’s comments, via a button-type action which I’m wondering if it would need to be triggered in the API, when stuff happens like copying rows to other rows. Another use of this would be exactly what @anon10352527 is talking about where I’d like to write into a comment stream when I sent a row to Gmail, for example after a meeting when the notes are ready and get sent to the participants with a button. In this case, at times it gets forgotten, so the reference in comments would show us if it was done or not!

There’s an over-a-year-old post here about your API accessing comments, and since that’s old for Coda standards, could you let me know if you can access comments yet, and if not, do you guys plan this with the API? I would like to add a huge “+1” if you are still collecting requests.

Access to comments Via the API

Thanks!
