Comment Notify emails authors and visitors about new comments published on pages where they have commented. Comment Notify works for both registered and anonymous users.
Providing comment notifications for anonymous users is an important tool in bringing anonymous users back to your site, which helps convert anonymous users to registered users. Anonymous comment notification is a critical tool in building a blog comment community; all the major blogging platforms include this functionality.
Many other notification modules do not allow notifications for anonymous users but Comment Notify does. On the other hand, Comment Notify's goal of being lightweight means it is missing some features you might want. Learn more about different notification modules.)
Features
- Email registered and anonymous users about comment follow-ups
- Allow users to unsubscribe from notifications on a specific post with a single click
- Allow registered users to preset their follow-up setting in their profile
- Users can choose to get notifications about all comments on a node or just replies to their comment
- Registered authors can get notifications about comments on their nodes
- Authors can sign up for notifications of new comments published on their post.
- Note: Since it only notifies you about published comments, this is not a solution to notify admins when they need to moderate comments on their site

Project Roadmap
Comment Notify is under active development in the 8.x-1.x branch.
Since Drupal 7 is receiving security fixes only and reaches its end of life January 5, 2025, site owners are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Drupal 10, Comment Notify 7.x-1.3 is only receiving security fixes.
Read our plan for the next release and contribute to the effort by visiting the Comment Notify Roadmap.
Recommended Companion Modules
