Use a user group in E-Mail

[David Salewski]

Hello!

I am trying to send an e-mail to a specific user group with the help of the “E-Mail and Print”-Tab.

If I put a people picker field as source ( {FIELD_NAME} ) , it works fine, if I add only single names, but fails to deliver the mails when I put in a SharePoint group.
If I put {usergroup: GROUP_NAME} in the “To” field, it works perfectly, but I cant hard code the group as I have different group names for different occasions.

I tried to use a workaround by writing the name of the group in a separate field and put {usergroup: {FIELD_NAME}} into the “To” field. This delivers the exact same spelling, but sadly, it does not work.

Do you have a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance,

David

Hi,
You can add this code to the custom js (change “GroupA” with your group name – you can use getFieldValue to get it form another field if you like):

var ugr = spjs.dffs.getUserCollectionFromGroup("GroupA");
var emails = [];
jQspjs.each(ugr,function(k,uo){
	emails.push(uo.email);
});
var useThisInToField = emails.join(";");

Use this variable in the To field in the email like this:

{var:useThisInToField}
