Well, if you think about it… you can’t comment on a non-existing post 😀
A comment needs a post to attach itself to. You might check out the AutomatorWP plugin to see if it’s possible with that.
How would code know what comment to make? Assuming code can access all the pertinent information, you could hook the “draft_to_publish” action and call wp_insert_comment() from the callback. The post object being published is passed to the callback so you can assure the comment is attached to the right post.

Hi,
I would like to know if it’s possible to add a comment to a post before or while it’s published for the fist time.
In my experience, I need to publish the post first and then I am able to add a comment. Is there a way to do both at once?
Thank you!
