Notify Distribution Group

Description

Section titled “Description”

Sends an email notification to a PlaidCloud distribution group — a named list of recipients managed in the workspace settings. Useful for status updates, completion notifications, or error alerts that need to reach a defined audience.

Messages are sent from PlaidCloud’s notification service. Distribution groups are managed centrally so workflow authors don’t embed email addresses in workflow definitions.
