You can't create email alerts for workflow rules on activities.

The answer is A. True, you can create email alerts for workflow rules on activities in Salesforce Lightning Experience.

In Salesforce, workflow rules allow administrators to automate standard internal procedures and processes to save time and improve productivity. Workflow rules evaluate records as they are created or updated, and perform automated actions based on the specified criteria.

Activities are standard objects in Salesforce that represent any task, event, or activity that a user schedules or tracks. Workflow rules can be created on activity records to perform automated actions such as email alerts, field updates, and task creation, among others.

To create an email alert for a workflow rule on activities in Lightning Experience, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Go to Setup and type "Workflow Rules" in the Quick Find box, then select "Workflow Rules."

  2. Click the "New Rule" button to create a new workflow rule.

  3. Select the object on which you want to create the rule (in this case, "Task" or "Event" for activities).

  4. Specify the evaluation criteria for the rule, which determines when the rule should be triggered. For example, you could set the rule to trigger when a new activity record is created.

  5. Define the rule criteria, which determines which records should trigger the rule. For example, you could set the rule to trigger when an activity is assigned to a specific user.

  6. Add an email alert action to the rule, which sends an email to a specified user or group of users when the rule is triggered. You can customize the email message and include merge fields to populate information from the activity record.

  7. Activate the rule to make it active.

Once the workflow rule is activated, it will trigger an email alert whenever an activity record meets the specified criteria. This can be useful for notifying users of important updates or reminding them of upcoming tasks and events.
