Hi everyone,
Thank you for your patience. I'm happy to inform you all that the email notifications for comments capability is now functioning with some additional improvements:
What's changed:
When an email address is added in the Comment moderation (Settings > Posts, comments and sharing > Comment moderation), Comment Notification Emails (Settings > Email > Comment Notification Email), or Email posts to (Settings > Email > Email posts to) fields, notifications are not necessarily enabled as they were before. Instead, if an email address is added to these fields, an email is sent inviting the email owner to either accept or decline the subscription. If the owner accepts, they will receive email notifications on new posts/comments. If the owner declines, the email address will be immediately removed from the field in their Settings.
Please note that when you enter an email alias that includes multiple members (for example: myclub@googlegroups.com), all members of the group will receive the invitation to either accept or decline the subscription.
When email notifications are sent, an unsubscribe link will also be available at the bottom of the email, should the recipient(s) wish to opt-out. Therefore, if any member of a group alias clicks the 'Unsubscribe' link, the entire group alias will be unsubscribed.
Thank you again for your patience as we worked on these improvements!
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Best,
Kelly, Blogger Community Manager
