Recipient Groups

You can group multiple recipients into a single group for an effective management using recipient groups. Recipients can be members of multiple groups. You can also nest recipient groups by adding one recipient group to another. When Notification sends a notification to a recipient group, the notification is sent to all recipient users and recipient devices within that recipient group and its contained recipient groups.
