Sending email for custom groups

Friends,
I have a problem sending email to a custom group members when a file is added. I have created a group called "technical" and contains 3 members. I wrote content rules for sending mail. In the mail i specified the recepient list as ${technical_emails} . But I couldn't succeed .kindly help me. I have attached the screenshot below.

Custom group:

Content Rules:

Action:

Response:

I don't think that syntax will work. You would have to look up the members of the group then get each member's email address. The add-ons https://pypi.org/project/collective.groupmail/ and https://pypi.org/project/collective.contentrules.mailtogroup/ might help you.

This add-on was very useful https://pypi.org/project/collective.easytemplate/

I mentioned it in this talk https://www.slideshare.net/tkimnguyen/easy-online-business-processes-with-plone-forms-and-workflow

both these package are outdated and not supporting .. is there any other way

thank you friends for your support. I got what I want with the easytemplate.
