      summary: A comment was created
      description: 'Sent when a comment is added. Website and web app comments are held for at least 10 seconds first so the screenshot is usually ready and included; document comments are sent without the hold. Sent as a JSON POST to every active subscription (and every webhook set up in the Huddlekit app) that includes this event type, while the workspace is on the Team plan. Respond with any 2xx within 10 seconds. Any other status (redirects are not followed), an error or a timeout is a failure: the delivery is retried after 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours and 6 hours (6 attempts in all) and then set aside, and an endpoint that has failed 20 times in a row over more than 24 hours is switched off. Delivery is at-least-once; de-duplicate on `X-Huddlekit-Event-Id`.'
