I suggest checking with the Care Team to confirm that your Realm is set to allow email notifications to non users.  When accounts sign up for Quickbase they default to blocking sending notifications externally out of the organization.

    Thanks Mark. The DG is internal to the company but our company QB Administrators told me it requires some magic on the admin side to create a group from our master employee record so I can use it to send a notification.

      I understand that the DG members are internal, but if the DG email address is not a "User", then that is sending to an external email as far as Quickbase is concerned.
