Take a look at Action Plans from the AppExchange to see if they can help you as well.  We've implemented them in the past for automating quantities of tasks all at once

Thank you so much . Does it invovle any UI changes . For example i would select a contact object based on the field values it should display related contact object who are in the same team.

you can use Record Lookup Data Element to get the list of contacts based on the input values and either show the contact in the screen element to select or use it in the Email Alert element to send the email. you might have to use send email action instead of email alert element for this case.
