 Hello,

 I’ve noticed that when comments are created using the WP API that
 notification emails are not sent out to the author of the post or
 moderators. (When testing, If I add the comment via the admin interface,
 it works as expected).

 On debugging, I noticed that the filter ‘comment_post’ is not being called
 when inserted via the API. For now, I used the following workaround:

 {{{#!php
 function mytheme_comment_inserted($comment_id, $comment_object) {
   wp_notify_postauthor( $comment_id );
 }
 add_action('wp_insert_comment','mytheme_comment_inserted');
 }}}

 I already posted on the support forum here:
 https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-api-comments-not-sending-
 notifications/#post-8987973 and it was suggested this could be intentional
 behaviour but that this also could, in fact, be reported as a bug?

 Thanks!

 Chris
