Hello Divya,
I beleive you are using MS CRM 4.0, if yes...
Go to Settings - > Workflows - > Select New and,
-
Select the entity which will get created so that the email will be sent.( Say for Example : Lead )
-
Select New Workflow and proceed.
-
Then, assuming it will be a user process, select the scope as user from the drop down.
-
Select the checkbox , as start when a record is created.
-
Click add step in the button provided below and say check condition and specify the condition as select lead when status equals open.Then Save an Close.
-
Again select add step and say send email and set the properties and click save & close.
-
Then publish the worklfow and check the changes by creating a lead and checking out in your workplace as an email activity.
Thanks,
Edwin
