Great thanks! I will give that a try.
So glad you're implementing other notification channels! You guys are amazing!! Thank you!

This method would be great, so I would love to get it to work. A single auto-action for all notifications emailed!
I just added this new AutoAction to these specs, but it doesn't result in an email.
I double checked the email settings from the site since upgrade, site email settings are good.
Any other ideas you may have?

Yes! I didn't notice the Notifications Disable Enable and Replace at the bottom under GroupJive. Thanks that's sending the emails now!
I'll test it out a bit today.

I wasn't very clear in my last reply... No, I didn't enable the notifications.

So another question... If I want the initial GroupJive Activity to send just to the group members what do I select?
All Users (sends to the entire user list) 
Connections (I presume just sends to the user's connections)
Followers (The group users must also be followers of the group?)
Moderators
What I want is the notification (and the email) to send to everyone in the group. Maybe I could modify the User parameters you sent: if ( ! $variables->getPublished() ) {
return [];
}

return $variables->getRecipients();
