Communication Site & Comment Notifications

Copper Contributor

Hi,

 

Apologies as I am sure this has been asked a number of times, but I cannot find an actual answer and I was unable to post in Communication Site AMA.

 

We have recently setup a Communication Site for an internal news/blog site for articles to share within the company and it works great apart from not being notified when a comment is made on a post unless you are @mentioned 

 

I have seen various posts like https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/sharepoint-email-notifications-5bd63d8a-d43e-48cc-82b3-03a7... and on the release information that this functionality is coming/here/on its way.

 

Can anyone shed any more light on this and if its possible? Now I have seen the setup using Power Automate and App Catalog but that is still a manual process for someone to click on the site to check if there are any comments and that just doesn't work for us.

 

Thanks in advance

Nick

@ncruickshankI am afraid there is no simpler way but sure there are some complex way which I think you might have already explored or ignored depending on your need.

If you succeed trying the above approach otherwise wait and there is a user voice also submitted for the same, please vote to get more attention.
