Previously you could already configure contact groups in Event Console rules, but those groups were only used to control the visibility of the events in the GUI.

Now these groups can be used to control the visibility and also make them relevant for the notifications created by the Event Console. Besides adding the groups to the rule, you can configure whether or not to add the contact groups to the notifications and also configure the precedence of the groups in case there are host contact groups configured and event contact groups in the rule.

Existing rules are treated as before. The contact groups of the rule will not be added to the notifications until you open the rule, tick the checkbox and save the rule again.
