what is the simplest way of send e-mail notification when a task is assigned to someone
If you are in SP 2010 you can activate this through the list settings. Â If you are in SP 2013 the default task list no longer has this setting. Â If you are in SP 2013 and are using a Workflow Task list this will still have the list setting option to automatically notify when a task is assigned.Â
If you are using standard SP 2013 task lists you could create a workflow that runs on creation & change that sends an email to the Assigned To column. Â Make sure that if you are going to run it on change you put an IF statement in there to only send if the Assigned To column has changed.
