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.

I found that when I downloaded the SharePoint app to my phone I got alerts on my phone when comments were posted in response to News I posted.  I am following the site but I don't know if that is why. I didn't do anything active to set up the alerts.
