Comment tags pull data from WordPress comments (including WooCommerce product reviews). They help you show real feedback: author name, review text, star context, and links.
Comment tags require Notifal Pro installed with an active license. See What Is Notifal? (Free vs Pro).
Enable the category under Managing Tag Categories in Settings.
Basics: What Are Dynamic Tags?. Totals: {comment_counter} in Counter Tags.
Basic comment tags (Pro)
| Tag | Shows |
|---|---|
{comment_id} | Comment ID |
{comment_author} | Author name |
{comment_content} | Comment text (HTML stripped) |
{comment_date_...} | Comment date (see Date Formatting Tags) |
{comment_post_title} | Title of the post or product reviewed |
{comment_url} | Link to the comment |
Example: {comment_author} said: "{comment_content}"
Advanced comment tags (Pro)
| Tag | Shows |
|---|---|
{comment_author_email} | Author email |
{comment_author_url} | Author website |
{comment_approved} | Approved or Pending |
{comment_type} | Comment, review, or other type |
{comment_parent_author} | Name of parent comment author (for replies) |
{comment_meta_KEY} | Custom comment meta (for example review rating) |
{comment_author_email} is sensitive. Use only in admin-only or highly trusted contexts, not public popups.Comment content source
Comment tags need a comment in context. On the notification editor:
- Open Content Source.
- Configure Comment restrictions (approved only, post type, product reviews, date range, and similar).
- Notifal rotates or selects comments that pass your rules.
{comment_counter} uses the same filters to show how many comments match.
Product reviews
WooCommerce reviews are WordPress comments with type review. Use comment tags the same way; {comment_post_title} shows the product name.
Pair with WooCommerce Product and Order Tags if you also show {product_name} from the same product.
Date examples
