Sending email alert to all contacts without any coding

Hi Guys...I want to send an Email alert to all contacts when a new event is created. Can we achieve this without any coding part i.e (triggers & Classes).. Can we achieve this by using Flows and Process Builder..If yes then please let me know the procedure.

Hi Waseem,

Yes and no. I mean, you can create a process with process builder to perform actions when an event is created or created/updated, but the problem comes with the email alert. You can't create an email alert for events (the object is not shown in the picklist when creating the email alert), so my suggestion is to try a workaround.
Create a custom object mirroring event in which you'll be able to create an email alert for it. The records of this custom object can be created automatically using process builder and you can map the fields of the custom object record with the fields of the event record.

take a look to this link to know more about process builder:
https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=process_overview.htm
And I'll also suggest you to do Process Builder Module in Trailhead

Hope this helps you.

Regards,
