SharePoint VS workflow emailing to a SharePoint group

Question

I have a code activity that sends an email in a VS workflow. It simply sets the 'To' property to the name of a SharePoint group in the site collection. However, only the 1st person in the group gets emailed.

Any ideas why this is happening?

thanks

Answer 1

Does your group contain anything other than just users (ex: distribution lists, ad groups)?

If this is still a problem and you need to be able to send to a SharePoint group, I would recommend writing a custom workflow Action that would gather the emails of all the users in a specified group (you can find many tutorials online on how to make a custom action).

Answer 2

Turned out it was not even emailing the first user. I decided to extract the user emails programatically instead. Works fine.
