Alerts on Comments in Modern Pages?

So now that we are beginning to take advantage of Communications Sites, Modern Pages and News, we are starting to get comments on our pages - which is awesome, but... Nobody knows there are comments ...

Modern Pages

SharePoint Online

Hi Rob,

I had a similar task: send the email notification to the author of the modern page in SharePoint online if the new comment added.

I have done this using MS Flow and MS Graph API because standard SharePoint actions in MS Flow didn't help me.

I've described the solution in https://www.infopulse.com/blog/using-microsoft-graph-api-inside-microsoft-flow-office-365/ on the public blog of my company.

Hope, it helps you.

UPDATE: This solution was implemented for teams site. We found new challenges for brand new communications sites.

No, comments are not really stored in a list on the site...those comments are stored on a particular cloud storage created by the team: http://www.vrdmn.com/2017/07/working-with-page-comments-rest-api-in.html

jcgonzalezmartin Thanks, I saw this and it kind of started my line of thinking! I guess in the end, I am still wondering where they are stored. Again, great functionality, but when a News Page or Standard Page is posted for communication, especially trying to transition away from standard files, it would make it great to be able to react to the comments. Really hard to follow up with people if they have questions.
