List Comments in a Repository
Recent comments across every issue and pull request.
What this action does #
First, connect GitHub in Services. Then open Actions → + → GitHub and choose List Comments in a Repository.
More about this action
The same comments as List Comments on an Issue, from every issue at once — the way to find a comment when you remember what it said but not where. Each one's `issue_url` ends in the number of the issue it was left on.
Inputs to fill in #
Open an input to choose its value. Keep a fixed value with Text, receive it from Shortcuts, ask when the action runs, or use an Earlier Step. Read how input sources work.

Run it from Shortcuts #
- Give the action a recognizable name and tap Save.
- In Apple Shortcuts, add Shortcutify’s Execute Action and select the saved action.
- Supply any Param or File slots you bound in the inputs, then run the shortcut.
If the result is unexpected, open Logs in Shortcutify, select the run, and inspect this step’s inputs and response.
This action supports multiple pages of results. Open its Fetch setting to retrieve more pages when one page is not enough. Each page adds a service request.
