What you want is for members of a group to be forced to watch a category. If you are “watching” a category then you get every message posted to it.

See [Make members of a group watch a category by default](https://meta.discourse.org/t/make-members-of-a-group-watch-a-category-by-default/22127).

I think that someone made a plugin that will do this, but that it has no admin interface (that is, the group to category mapping is hard-coded in the plugin). You’d need to fork or copy the plugin and add your own group mappings.
