Get Email Alerts of New Comments Awaiting Moderation Approval on Drupal

new email alerts for comment moderation in drupal

email-comments-drupal

For new comments made by users in Drupal by default the only way to approve or delete new comments for moderation in is to log on and check on to the site directly. New comments are not alerted to an authenticated user.

By setting up an action and trigger when a new comment is posted you can notify a particular user account email address with a link to the comment queue so you can decide if it is approved or deleted.

Make sure the Triggers module is loaded.

Go to  - Administer > Site configuration  > Actions

Create a new Send e-mail action

create-action-email-drupal

create-action-email-drupal

 

Create and configure the action and fill out the email address that  you want to receive the comment notifications on

configure-action-email-drupal

configure-action-email-drupal

 

Go to  -  Administer > Site building > Triggers

Click on the Comments tab, for “Trigger: After saving a new comment” select the action you previously created and assign it to it.

assign-action-trigger-drupal

assign-action-trigger-drupal

Leave a comment and test it out.
