You can surly do it via script.
Which workflow engine you are using JBPM or Activi?
If it is your custom advance workflow you can insert the script which will be invoked during last transition.

something like this in activiti


ecmarchitect.com
<extensionElements>
<activiti:executionListener event=
"start"
class=
"org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener"
>
<activiti:field name=
"script"
>
<activiti:string>
logger.log("Hello, World, from transition to User Task B!");
</activiti:string>
</activiti:field>
</activiti:executionListener>
</extensionElements>
</sequenceFlow>

Hi,

Iterate through the group sending a mail to each one. Like:

<blockcode>
for each(person in emailGroup)
{
//mail action
mail.parameters.to = person.properties.email; //this line gets each person in the group
//then add logic to send mail
}
</blockcode>

This has to be in a script.

Hope this help you.

Though this is really very late but thought it will help future visitors.

you can use:
<strong>mail.parameters.to_many = "GROUP_My Group";</strong>
