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 ...

    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.

The iterative development that MS is taking for the O365 environment is great on one level, but why would a comments feature not have alerts baked in? Having to play around with APIs and Flows for this kind of feature is just not realistic.

 

I'll wait until they get it sorted out.
