Don't use Event, let notification get trigger based on updated checkbox on sc_task table
for checking this -> 2.Additional comments updated by customer/ not assigned to
You can use advanced notification condition and script
Something like this and enhance it further

then use toString() to compare and also use gs.getUserName() to get user ID at line 10
(function runMailScript( /* GlideRecord */ current, /* TemplatePrinter */ template,
/* Optional EmailOutbound */
email, /* Optional GlideRecord */ email_action,
/* Optional GlideRecord */
event) {
gs.info('userID7');
var comments = '';
var userId = gs.getUserName(); // Get the logged-in user ID
gs.info('userID9' + userId);
var requestorId = current.request_item.requested_for.user_name.toString();
gs.info('userID14' + requestorId);
var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_journal_field');
gr.addQuery('element_id', current.sys_id);
gr.addQuery('element', 'comments');
gr.orderByDesc('sys_created_by');
gr.query();
gs.info('userID14' + requestorId);
gs.info('created by' + gr.sys_created_by);
if (gr.next()) {
gs.info('userID25', +comments);
if (gr.sys_created_by.toString() == userId || gr.sys_created_by.toString() == requestorId) {
gs.info('userID23' + comments);
comments += gr.value + '\n';
}
}
gs.info("userID32" + comments);
template.print('The task ' + current.number + ' has been updated by the customer with below comments ' + comments + '\n');
})(current, template, email, email_action, event);

In ServiceNow, if you want to trigger multiple events from a single notification, it's important to understand that:
Notifications are generally tied to a single event.
However, multiple events can each trigger the same notification (or different ones).
You can't directly call multiple events within a single notification setup — instead, you architect the system so that multiple events are either triggered together or handled in script logic.
Options for Achieving "Multiple Events" in One Notification
✅ Option 1: Trigger a Single Event That Embeds Multiple Conditions
Design one custom event that encapsulates all the logic needed.
In the notification script (or advanced condition), handle what message to send based on the context.
Example:
✅ Option 2: Use a Script Action to Trigger Multiple Events
If you're using a Business Rule or Script Action, you can manually fire multiple events.
Example:
Then, in the Notifications table, create separate notifications for each event and tailor them accordingly.
✅ Option 3: Use Event Name Pattern Matching
Have multiple events that follow a naming pattern, and use the same notification for all of them.
Example:
If events are named like custom.update.a, custom.update.b, etc., you can create a notification with a scripted condition:
✅ Option 4: Handle Complex Logic in Notification Script
Instead of trying to merge events, keep the logic in the notification template. You can access event.parm1 and event.parm2 inside the notification template or condition script to change the message dynamically.
Summary
You can't directly bind multiple events to one notification through the UI, but you can:
Trigger multiple events through scripting.
Use one custom event to represent multiple scenarios.
Use logic in the notification's condition or template to handle different use cases.
Hope the answer has helped you, please mark the answer correct/helpful. Thank you.

1 email with the above condition is good enough.
Why you want to use events since you are directly using notification to determine the trigger?
Ensure all the conditions satisfy when you are testing

Hello @Ankur Bawiskar
For adding the condition additional comments changes by customer in the record updated or inserted I'm not able to add the exact conditions, only it is showing additional comments changes
So I though to add the event based notification, I created one event for additional comment changes and other two I add has filter condition in the notification, but I'm getting this error
