Add a comment

Note:

Each time the zoho.connect.addComment integration task is executed, it triggers an API request in the back-end. This call is deducted from the external calls limit available for the service from which the task is executed, based on your pricing plan.
Only actual executions that receive a response (whether success or failure) are counted, not the number of times the task appears in the script. For example, if zoho.connect.addComment integration task is placed inside a for each task that iterates five times, the number of external calls consumed will be five, even though the task appears only once in the script.
