What do you mean by 'the image of objects present on the app', your topic is group objects, so I am not sure how these are related.

I want the email body to contain either the group of shapes and objects that exist on the app, or an image or screenshot of the shapes and objects that are on the app.

For example, I want the shapes and objects in light blue below to be sent on an email body to the users:

You can send the data contained in those fields in an email, but I don't think there is a way to capture a screenshot of that automatically and then send it in an email body.

Using HTML you can build the body of the email, format it nicely and include data from your app. Here is an example:

LicenseeName, Justification, and LicenseType are all fields in the collection proceed.

ForAll(Proceed,
Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2("jonh.doe@abc.com", "License Request" & varRecord.RequestNumber, "A " & LicenseType & "premium license has been requested for "& LicenseeName & ". Reason: " & Justification &". 

 The first steps of the eReq process have been initiated and a quote has been requested from our vendor, Zones. The quote will be sent to " & LicenseeName &". 

 Once the quote is received, " & LicenseeName & " will need to submit an eReq in order for the license to be ordered. Information for the eReq can be found at this link:")

That's what I currently have the email layout defined by HTML, but because some colours and images change depending on the person who's sending the email it makes the code for the email ENOURMOUS and ugly and hard to maintain every time I need to perform any changes. I thought there could be an easier way to do it.

What if you used variables or a single complex variable to contain all the colors and images, and then set those variables as needed when the app is being used, then you should just need one email statement because you would use the variables in the email body.
