Hi Rakesh,

Workflow for Professional Edtion is available as an add-on from the AppExchange: Have a look a the Workflow for Professional Edition App on the AppExchange. It enables Professional Edition Users to generate Email Alerts, Update Fields, Create New Tasks, and even Create New Records based on Workflow Rule Criteria you define. Rules can get created on Any Object, includig Tasks. ie "Change Case Status to "Customer REsponded" when Inbound Email Status = Inbound Email Received

Users can create multiple Workflow Actions per Workflow Rule: ie 1. Update Status; 2. Create A Task for Record Owner; 3. Send Email Alert to Project Manager

Comes with a 14 day free trial: https://appexchange.salesforce.com/listingDetail?listingId=a0N3000000B4NIeEAN

Available in Professional Edition as an extra cost add on (contact your Salesforce rep)
