Hi, HerveDup
Unfurtunatelly I haven't got any feedback on this. But by today, newsfeeds are going to be history and I would not build anything on top of it...- HerveDupJan 14, 2020Copper Contributor
Hey Mihkel Moorats
thks very much for your answer. I'm actually looking at being able to tag a group of people in the comment section at the bottom of a communication Sharepoint Site.
Would you have any info on that, because it's not working. I'd indeed like Sharepoint to send an email to all members of the group that I am tagging and not send an email to the email address of the group itself.
For example my group is @EMEAmarketing and there is 10 employees in it. Currentljy what Sharepoint is doing when I tage the group in the comment section is that it sends an email to the email address of the group (for ex: emeamarketing@outlook.com) instead of sending an email to each individual member that is part of the EMEA marketing group.
Thks for your help again

OK, I understand your point. And I'm assuming that users of that group do not get the email that is sent for group email?
What I would think next is to use Flow for that. So you can trigger Flow on getting this Group email and the iterate through group members and forward this email to each user.
I hope it makes sense for you?
Good luck,
Mihkel
