How can I receive notifications for blog comments?

Shopify Discussion

anyone know how to get blog comments to send a notification? seems like this should exist, it is so basic for a blog to have this.

seems like there used to be some apps, but none are active any longer.

thanks

I’m looking for the same thing. I just found a bunch of old comments I didn’t even know I had. And the only way to respond to a comment is through my actual site, just like a customer? Is that true? So awkward and weird.

Hi! I just released an app for email notifications, comment replies, blog ratings, etc. for Shopify.

Here is the app store link: https://apps.shopify.com/blogcomments

Here is a list of all the features it comes with, right now:

  • sends email notifications for new comments on your Shopify blog posts.
  • allows admin replies on comments, including quick replies directly from the email notification.
  • provides much better spam protection, so no more bot comments.
  • an easy-to-use admin interface for managing all your comments in one place, rather than having to look at individual articles.
  • includes a 5-star rating system for your recipes, guides, or tutorials, so your readers can leave reviews.
  • plus, a few other handy features to make your life easier with plenty on their way

Take a look and let me know if I can help with anything :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s 2025, and there’s still no way I can enable email notifications for blog comments. After considering options like 1) complaining again to Shopify; 2) building an AI agent to notify me; 3) doing nothing except checking the blog comments manually more often, I have found this app that does it for free: https://apps.shopify.com/eagle Just started using it on my blog so will report back how it works!

Did you have any luck with that app? Does it work ok? Cheers!

Now it’s 2026 and there’s no built-in solution, while Shopify overhauls webhooks in higher priority areas. I had implemented an external webhook-based solution which required me to reauthenticate my Gmail every week to keep it alive (quite a waste of time!) so I wrote a simple Shopify app which now handles the webhook → Flow trigger part of it inside Shopify for me. It just went live on the App Store and I tried to make it as affordable as I could while covering my hosting and usage costs for it ($0.25/month and $0.05 each time it triggers). I set up a 14-day free trial so give it a try if you like. You simply activate the app embed in your theme, it will catch any comments and then use the Flow trigger to set up a notification in Flow (can be an internal email, or Slack message, for example - my app provides the comment fields via the trigger).
