Is there a way in modern team sites to get emailed when someone comments on a page?

The comments web part is at the bottom of every page in a modern team site (except the home page):

We have many pages. Is there any way for an admin to get notified (emailed) when a new comment is entered on one of the pages? Is there any way to see the comments from all pages all at once?

Much thanks,

  • It looks like comments are not stored on any library in the site. They are stored in a specific datastore which is accessible only via restapi. Please refer blogpost below.

    Maybe you could use flow and these restapi calls to get notified when a new comment is posted.

  • The mobile app will currently give push notifications if a comment is made and you have them on. Not currently an out of box way to get comment notifications via e-mail or desktop etc.

      Thank you. Can I sign someone up for push notifications on comments?

        Can you check if this method helps to send notifications to someone apart from author.
