Description

I would like to be able to set up a flow that sends email notifications to all email sharing recipients with access to an affected file.

Our use case is that we have a group folder (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/groupfolders) containing a subdirectory for each of our clients used for bi-directional data sharing with the client, each of which is shared to the applicable client by email. When we upload files to those client directories, we would like the applicable client to be sent an email notifying them of the data.

Preferably, this could be set up at the administrative level, but it could be worked around at the user level as well.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading the Nextcloud Flow integration and the email-sharing recipient behavior described in the issue. Done means a configurable flow sends email notifications to every email sharing recipient with access to an affected file, with the administrative-versus-user configuration scope resolved.
