I have used js-advanced-commenting for my SP online, all the functions are fine, but it doesn't have any notifications when Replying to comments or Ping users.
Any idea how can i do this?

@sudharsank I believe you wrote this cool sample, would you have any advice on how to get started on implementing what @tranthachthao1995 would like?

@tranthachthao1995 I am working on the email functionality for reply, once it is tested will release the new version of the component and also will post the code.

@tranthachthao1995 Please follow the below steps to send an email if an reply is posted.
Following are the modifications that has to be done on 'SPHelper.ts'

1. Add the below import
   import "@pnp/sp/sputilities";
2. Modification to be done on the postComment method, below the line
   let updateComments = await this.updateComment(pageurl, comments);

if (commentJson.parent !== null) {
                let allComments = await this.getComment(pageurl);
                allComments = JSON.parse(allComments);
                let parentComment = _.find(allComments, (o) => { return o.id === commentJson.parent; });
                let parentCommentUser = await sp.web.getUserById(parentComment.userid).get();
                let toEmail = [`${parentCommentUser.Email}`];
                let mailsubject = "Reply to your comment!";
                let emailBody = `A reply has been posted by '${commentJson.fullname}'`;
                this.sendEmail(toEmail, mailsubject, emailBody);
            }

1. Create a new method for sending an email. Paste the below code after the postComment method

public sendEmail = async (to, subject, body) => {
        return await sp.utility.sendEmail({
            To: to,
            Subject: subject,
            Body: body
        });
    }

Thats it. Try the above steps and let me know if you have any clarifications or facing any issues.

Happy coding...
