Ys you can create a trigger to send email
I am attaching a sample trigger which sends a mail after task is closed
trigger TriggerEmail on Task (before update,after update) {
id theownerid = Trigger.new[0].OwnerId;
id thecreatebyid = Trigger.new[0].CreatedById;
string theCreatedByeMail;
string theOwnerName;
if((Trigger.old[0].IsClosed == false)&& (Trigger.new[0].Isclosed == true))
{
//Task has just been closed
User [] thecreator;
thecreator = [select id,email from user where id=: thecreatebyid];
theCreatedByeMail = thecreator[0].email;
User[] theowner;
theowner = [select id,name,email from user where id=:theownerid];
theOwnerName = theowner[0].name;
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String[] toAddresses = new String[] {'test@gmail.com'};
email.setToAddresses(toAddresses );
email.setReplyTo(theCreatedByeMail);
email.setSenderDisplayName(theOwnerName);
email.setSubject('PS opp Closed');
email.setPlainTextBody('Task has been Completed');
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email });
}
}
Find below a sample trigger which sends an email to the contact after the contact is created :
trigger Contrigger on Contact (after insert,before update)
{
Contact con = trigger.new[0];
Id contactid = con.id;
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String[] toAddresses = new String[] {con.email};
email.setToAddresses(toAddresses );
email.setTargetObjectId(contactid);
// email.setSenderDisplayName(theOwnerName);
email.setSubject('Creation of new contact');
email.setPlainTextBody('contact has been Created');
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email });
}
