workflow oob process step for email notification

[sarguna_sabapat]

I have a workflow for content authoring and publishing the page with author, reviewer and approver as participant steps. Is there any oob process step which can only notify a particular user group say "ecommerce-group" that content have been authored/ approved via internal CQ mail inbox. If there is no oob process step available then is there a way to write a custom process step to send notification mail not to any external mail box but to internal CQ mail inbox.

This is the same as a external email custom step - which we have an article/video for:

Only difference is you have to assign the group an email address as described here:

Then use that email you specified in the Java code. 

Hope this helps...
