getting notification if there is any comment left without assessing name(user name) first
Hi,
In sharepoint list, I do see notification if someone leave comment, provided @name is initially addressed in the comment.
Unfortunately, I do not see any notification if there is no @ name addressed.
Is there any way to do so?
HIi KMK82 ,
By default, in SharePoint Online, notifications are only sent when an @ mention is used in a comment. There is no built-in way to receive notifications for comments that don't contain an @ mention.
However, you can create a custom solution to receive notifications for all comments in a SharePoint list. One way to do this is to use Microsoft Flow or Power Automate to trigger an email or a notification when a new comment is added to the list. You can set up a flow that triggers on the "When a new item is added" event, checks if the comment field is not empty, and sends an email or a notification to the desired recipients.
Note: This is an advanced solution that requires knowledge of Microsoft Flow or Power Automate. If you're not familiar with these tools, you may want to consider seeking help from a professional developer.

Adnan_Amin anyway to do this for comments on site pages instead of list items?
I tried building a flow but couldn’t find one for site pages.
Bentlee-Summers: Maybe this is what you are looking for regarding notifications on pages: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/set-your-sharepoint-email-notification-preferences-5bd63d8a-d43e-48cc-82b3-03a7687d5dc4
