Notifications
You can create custom notifications that appear for every group member in specific scenarios, such as when a new task is assigned to the group.
In this example, whenever a new task is assigned to any group member, a notification will be sent to all members of the group. To make this work, set the Value to Current Group Member.
Mentions
Mentions can trigger notifications for every member of a group across any record in any app. For example, if you want to notify all members of a group, simply Add a Note on the Detail Page of the record you want to highlight for the group, in this example, a ticket from the Tickets App.
