How to use the addComment() method and specify user
Answered
Hi, I noticed that the addComment() method can take an optional "user" argument.
I would like to occasionally trigger comments from a sort of bot user, but am unable to do so and can't find documentation about the "addComment(string, User) method.
Please sign in to leave a comment.
Hello Orrin, thanks for noticing it! We'll add this second argument to our documentation.
This `user` parameter is the user who will be the author of the comment. You can create a variable with the username of your bot user, like this:
var bot = {user:[username]};
and then pass this variable as the second parameter in the addComment() method.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.
I've tried this but I get an authentication error if I pass any user other than the logged in user as the second value. Can you help me set up a bot user that does not require authentication?
@Liubov, are you able to assist?
Hello Orrin, I'm sorry for the delay in response. Could you please share the code that you're using? Also please attach a screenshot from the WF Editor with all the error messages visible.
Thanks!
