Hi @sam3000us,
To get a notification you should subscribe.
wpDiscuz allows users to get all kinds of notifications from your website’s comment system, such as new comments, new replies, double opt-in subscription, user mentioning, user following, and new comments by followed users. You can manage all those options here in Dashboard > wpDiscuz > Settings > Subscription and User Following admin page.
How to notify a post author about new comments on his own posts by displaying notifications on menu?
I’m sorry but wpDiscuz doesn’t have such a feature. We suggest you check the following WordPress hook and do it yourself: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/hooks/comment_post/
