 * Hi!
    I have a question regarding the “New Comment” notification. Am I correct
   that it will send notification only to the person who wrote the post or to all
   website users? If I have a situation when there is:
 * Post from author 1: “Hi there”
    Comment from user 1: “Hello” Comment from author
   1: “How are you?”
 * When I use “New comment” notification, can I set it up in a way that user 1 will
   receive a notification about the comment “How are you?” from author 1? Or is 
   it only possible when author 1 hit “Reply” button?
 * The thing is that users of the website not always see the “Reply” button (and
   just reply in a new comment), so I would love to make sure that they receive 
   a notification about reply even if it’s posted as a regular comment. Would that
   be possible?

 * Hi @ulyanang,
    Thanks for your message.
 * All the information on the New Comment and Comment Reply notifications are available
   here: [https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/types-of-notification/](https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/notifications/types-of-notification/)
   Hopefully this should answer your questions.
 * With regards to notifying users of regular comments that aren’t replies, there’s
   no way of knowing if it’s a new comment or intended to be a reply to a comment
   so unfortunately not. You may be able to combat this with an improvement to the
   design of your site however.
 * Hope this helps.
