The Get comment action retrieves details of a comment in any Asana workspace using the story GID. The action retrieves the default comment fields and stores the response data in variables for use in downstream actions.

Overview

The action retrieves the following comment information: GID, comment text, creation time, created user, edit status, pin status, comment type, resource subtype, and target. You can specify the story GID directly in the appropriate text box or create and select string variable for the story GID as the input fields support string variables.
