Automatic email for a custom object

Hello,

We have about 500 employees in our Company. Our Salesforce is limited to a hand full of users. It makes sense to have our Companies and Employees in Saleforce as records.  I created an App called Company Directory where I have also created 2 custom objects. One object is for our companies and a second object is for our employees and is related to the companies object. I have also related our employees object to a custom object where we create projects. When we assign a new project to an employee we need an email sent to that employee, that a new project has been assigned to them. 

This worked when I created our companies as Accounts and our employees as Contacts. And then create a workflow. But this does not make any sense to us for Accounts and Contacts.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
SC

I am not sure about what you meant by 

'This worked when I created our companies as Accounts and our employees as Contacts. And then create a workflow. But this does not make any sense to us for Accounts and Contacts.'

Can you elaborate it further ??

I used the standard object "Accounts" for our company branches and standard object "Contacts" for our employees.

Then,what's the issue you are facing with that ??

Our Branches isn't an Account nor are our Employee's contacts. That is the issue.

Then,rather than using Standard objects Account and Contacts,you should create custom objects for both of them.

If this helps,please mark it as best answer to help others :)
