I just tried to edit another user’s post an @mention a group to send out a notification to the users in the group about the post but I don’t think it worked - any idea why not? The user that I edited is a group member (and group owner) so he should have enough authority to trigger the email notification that comes from @mentioning the group. When I edited the post and typed in the @mention I saw the ‘You’re about to notify X users, are you sure?’ flag and closed it. Can’t figure out what I’ve done wrong? I don’t really want to keep going back in and retrying it as the group has 500+ members and I don’t want to send out multiple notifications about the same thing 😧 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/8/f8721045a1139462c78d02b8ad4e8749a17c11a6.PNG) --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/triggering-an-email-notification-with-a-group-mention-not-working/59121)._
