How to make automated emails appear in Activities ?

Our users currently use the Email part of Activities to create and send an email which in turn also becomes an Email Message record and appears in the Activities History section of that record. We are now automating that email and the users will no longer be creating it. How do I make that new automated email appear in the Activities History section ? Do I somehow automatically create a new Email Message record ?

There is a comment in that response regarding this which suggests the solution of creating an EmailMessage record for the record in order to have this automated email appear in the history. I intend to do that - but I'm wondering if creating that EmailMessage record causes any other events. Would it also create an email with the details I include in that EmailMessage, and so 2 emails would get sent out ?
