Community Post Query

Question

Hi Team,

I recently posted something in the community, and I've received numerous responses. I need assistance in documenting the enterprise IDs and responses. Is there a more efficient way to do this than manually copying and pasting data from the comments?

Please let me know if there is a way, we could do this?

Dear Arun,

Thank you for the clarification!

For the Viva Engage community, since there isn't an export function available for comments, here are a few alternatives to efficiently document the enterprise IDs and responses:

1. For the Viva Engage community, if you are a network admin, you can use the "Export User Data" function from the Network Admin Settings. This feature allows you to export data based on specific users, and it will include the comments made by those users. If the comments you need to document are from a few specific users, this method could save you time and help you organize the data more efficiently.

2. If you have more developer experience and have tenant admin role, you can use Data Export API to do it. This allows you to pull responses from posts and document them automatically in a file or SharePoint list. This would require some technical setup but can help automate the process.

You can use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate your application and get the required permissions for accessing Viva Engage data. And you can use this query to retrieve comments from a specific post:
GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/communities/{community-id}/posts/{post-id}/comments

Authorization: Bearer {access-token}

In conclusion, while there is no direct way to export comments easily, the above workarounds can help you achieve your goal. If these methods don't fit your needs, it may be helpful to provide feedback to Microsoft about the need for a more streamlined export function, as they are always looking to improve the platform.

Thank you for you understanding. Let me know if you need further assistance.
