Using multiple dynamic SharePoint groups in Email

[Kim]

Hi Alex, I read the post Use a User Group in Email and was wondering how to modify this so that I can get multiple groups into an email. I have a field where I am appending a different set of user groups depending on the selection of a multi choice field. I wasn’t sure how to pull those dynamic groups using the getFieldValue into your code below:

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

I appreciate any help you can provide!

Are you setting the groups in a people picker, or in another field?

If you get the user group names from a people picker you can query the users from multiple groups like this:

var emails = [], groups = getFieldValue("NameOfYourPeoplePickerField");
jQuery.each(groups,function(i,g){
    var ugr = spjs.dffs.getUserCollectionFromGroup(g);
    jQspjs.each(ugr,function(k,uo){
        emails.push(uo.email);
    });
});
var useThisInToField = emails.join(";");

Replace “NameOfYourPeoplePickerField” with your field name.
