Ys you can create a trigger to send email

I am attaching a sample trigger which sends a mail after task is closed

 

trigger TriggerEmail on Task (before update,after update) {

    id theownerid = Trigger.new[0].OwnerId;
    id thecreatebyid = Trigger.new[0].CreatedById;
    string theCreatedByeMail;
    string theOwnerName;

if((Trigger.old[0].IsClosed == false)&& (Trigger.new[0].Isclosed == true))
    {
    //Task has just been closed
    
    User [] thecreator;
    thecreator = [select id,email from user where id=: thecreatebyid];
    theCreatedByeMail = thecreator[0].email;
    
    User[] theowner;
    theowner = [select id,name,email from user where id=:theownerid];
    theOwnerName = theowner[0].name;
    
    Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage(); 
    
    String[] toAddresses = new String[] {'test@gmail.com'}; 
    email.setToAddresses(toAddresses );
    email.setReplyTo(theCreatedByeMail);
    email.setSenderDisplayName(theOwnerName); 
    email.setSubject('PS opp Closed');
    email.setPlainTextBody('Task has been Completed'); 
    Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email }); 

        
    }
}

Find below a sample trigger which sends an email to the contact after the contact is created :

 

                                                                trigger Contrigger on Contact (after insert,before update)

                                                                {

                                                                   Contact con = trigger.new[0];

                                                                   Id contactid = con.id;

                                                                   Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

 

                                                                                String[] toAddresses = new String[] {con.email};

                                                                                email.setToAddresses(toAddresses );

                                                                                email.setTargetObjectId(contactid);

                                                                   // email.setSenderDisplayName(theOwnerName);

                                                                                email.setSubject('Creation of new contact');

                                                                                email.setPlainTextBody('contact has been Created');

                                                                                Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] { email });

 

                                                                }
