Comments

Spark conversation and stay connected with your subscribers.

Replies are great for 1:1 conversations. But if you want your readers talking to each other — building a real community around your writing — you need something more public.

Buttondown's built-in comments appear right at the bottom of your newsletter archives, giving subscribers a place to react, discuss, and connect.

More than a comment box.

• Build community. Give readers a shared space to discuss your writing, not just a reply button that goes to your inbox.
• Stay in the loop. Get notified when new comments come in, and jump into the conversation when you want to.
• Keep it clean. Moderate comments before they go live, or let them flow freely. Your newsletter, your rules.

First-class, not bolted on.

Comments aren't a third-party widget — they're built into Buttondown. That means you can build around them like any other feature: filter and query them through the API, trigger webhooks to pipe comments into Slack or your CRM, or set up automations to send exclusive content to your most engaged readers.

Buttondown is the last email platform you’ll switch to.
