account owner transfer email notification

Hi all,

Our Salesforce stopped sending notification emails when an account has been transferred (even if the 'Send Notificaiton Email' checkbox is marked) so I am trying to create an Apex Trigger that will send an email to the old and new account owner and I almost have it although I can't figure out how to pull in the Account Name so that they both know which account has been transferred.  The original emails send from Salesforce also included a link to the account record which would be nice but not neseccary.  

Here's what I have:
 
trigger Sampleemailtrigger on Account (after update) {
  
  List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> mails = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
  List<ID>ownerids=new List<ID>();
  
  List<String> sendTo = new List<String>();
  List<User>users=new List<User>();
  
  for (Account myacc : Trigger.new) {
  
    Account oldcon = Trigger.oldMap.get(myacc.Id);
    if (myacc.ownerid != oldcon.ownerid ) {
    
       ownerids.add(myacc.ownerid) ;  
       ownerids.add(oldcon.ownerid) ;
       
      
    }
    }
    
    if(ownerids.size()>0 ){
      
    users=[select name,id,email from user where id in:ownerids];
    system.debug('-------------users------'+users);
    if(users.size()>0){
     for(User u:users){
      sendTo.add(u.Email);
    }
    
     Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
     //mail.setReplyTo('ramanisetti@gmail.com');
      mail.setSenderDisplayName('Email alert');

      mail.setSubject('Household Owner Transfer   ');
      String body = 'The following Household has been transferred:';
      mail.setToAddresses(sendTo);
      mail.setHtmlBody(body);
      mails.add(mail);
      try{
      Messaging.sendEmail(mails);
      }
      catch(Exception e){
      system.debug('-------------exception------'+e);
       
      }
    
    }
    
    }
  
}

If anyone could help me include the Account Name (household for us), and a link to the account record that would be great!  Thanks!

Hey Lindsay,

You can create a map which will have account owner as the key and account name as the value. Using this map, you can get the account name in your mail body.
