## How it behaves

- Reads the comment from Attio after the event. If that read fails, no run starts.
- Starts at most one run per comment each time the workflow is turned on.

## Errors

Triggers have no error branch. When something goes wrong inside a trigger, no run starts. See [Troubleshooting](https://neondeerdata.com/docs/platform/automations/troubleshooting/).

## Example

Forward comments on key accounts to the account owner.

| Thread ID     | e4f5a6b7-c8d9-4e0f-9a1b-2c3d4e5f6a7b |

Entry ID and List ID are absent because the comment is on a record, not a list entry.
