@Roshni : The approach you have chosen will basically fire the email alert every time the record is edited irrespective of whether the owner has been changed or not. Also, it's not a good practice to check for hardcoded prefix values of an ID. 

@Adeline : I would recommend you to use the workflow for this because as of today process builder has some known issues when working with the Owner field and produces some undesirable results. The workflow is more robust when it comes to handling the Owner field. No doubt, that process builder is much more advanced than workflows. However it keeps getting refined and we should soon be able to use it for all the scenarios.

Let's stick to the workflow rule to achieve this now. The criteria should be such that it should fire the workflow only when the Owner is changed from a Queue to a User. The evaluation criteria of the workflow should "created and every time it's edited" i.e. the 2nd Option.

The formula for the criteria of the workflow will be this

 

AND(
ISCHANGED(OwnerId),
NOT(ISBLANK(Owner:User.Id))
)

That's it !

Ok So I deactivated the Workflow rule with email alert for this and am just focusing on the process builder for this. I tried using the Formula you listed above and I get this error

Hi Adeline,
 if you are using Process Builder, you can use the standard built in IsChanged function by giving value as TRUE.

try this.. hope it will work

Thanks,

Hi Adeline

From you other post  (https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/ForumsMain?id=9060G000000I3ymQAC)

Can you change the value accordingly
 
ISCHANGED([Lead].Owner:Queue.OwnerId)

Basically we are comparing if the value is getting changed.
If it doesnot work try getting the value from the formula builder itself.

Hi Adheline,
Please try this the below formula field in your process builder.

 ISCHANGED([Lead].Owner:Queue.OwnerId)

It works fine for me.
