Body: <p>I want to send a note to users that renewed their membership. I want to limit that note to only a certain group of members. I thought I would use 'renewal reminders'. </p>
  
  <p>In a renewal reminder, if I choose 'membership' as the entity, there is no trigger for 'renewal date', only for 'start date' and 'end date'.</p>
  
  <p>But if I choose 'activity: membership renewal: completed', I can not limit the recipients (presumably the targets of the activity) to a certain group. There's just no such option.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on how I could do this ?</p>
  
  <p>To clarify: We have several groups of members, and I want to send each renewing member a thank you note specific to his/her group</p>

  I spent some time looking through the source code and the history of this feature. After review, I think you're best off trying to implement this via [CiviRules](https://civicrm.org/extensions/civirules) instead.
  
  * Your CiviRules trigger should be "Activity added", not membership-related. Otherwise you run into similar limitations as the Scheduled Reminders approach.
  * Your conditions can be "Activity is of type: Membership Renewal" and "Contact is in Group: X".
  * You'll also need to install the [Email API](https://civicrm.org/extensions/e-mail-api) extension so you can add an action of "Send Email".
