Is there a way to email a SharePoint Group from a Flow? (not an O365 Group, not an AD group, but a legit SharePoint group)
Or do I have to define and maintain an actual Distribution Group for flow to send to?

Yeah, it's absolutely depressing to know that these basic functionalities are not implemented in 2020.
Now, I will use a LOW CODE application to build CODE JSON and do some hacky scheme with REST APIs to send a basic e-mail.
Someone give me back my On Premises and farm solutions, please.

Starting November 1st, 2020, Microsoft will remove the ability to run, or create, and or execute SharePoint 2010 workflows from existing tenants.
In our company we use SharePoint 2013 workflows to send email to SharePoint Group.
Microsoft ask to migrate our old workflows to flow, but standard feature like send email to SharePoint Group is not available....
Then, is there any update in Flow to send mail to SharePoint group without parsing JSON and without calling a REST API ?

Hi @Brent Ellis !
Not sure if we are facing the same issue but i guess we are. But in case we don't, can you explain what you mean by legit SharePoint Group not Office 365 group ? From what I know, Microsoft have deprecated sites Mailboxes (if that's what you're talking about) and encourages us to move to Office 365 Groups. You can have more infos in here: Use a site mailbox to organize email for a team or project and Use Office 365 Groups instead of Site Mailboxes .
If you read the posts above and are talking about Office 365 group (created by creating a team site or directly in outlook or other apps) here is the trick to email the group from flow:
Step 3 is not mandaory but if you don't activate it, messages will arrive in group conversation thread without notifying individual users and sometimes you can miss messages if you don't scroll down to verify if you have new messages in the group. So it's better to see it once a user get to his inbox.
