Ability to Notify (by Email) when a field/record is changed
Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to add the ability to send (email) notification when information is modified on a page? Either at the field or record level?
Ideally, this would be at the record level, so that, for example, the Save button is pressed, an email notification could be sent summarizing the changes. As a relative newbie to Salesforce, I don't know of any way to attach an action to the Send button. I also wonder if there is anything I could do related to the "History Tracking" option.
At the field level, I have looked at Formulas - it would be useful if I could, for example, use the HYPERLINK function on the LHS of an IF to 'call' a server-side script that sends an email. But this is not a total solution.
I am not completely familiar with sControls, but could I use one in any way to accomplish this objective?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Am I mistaken when I note that, according to the options, I can set a rule to fire "when a new record is created, or when an existing record is edited", but that this causes the rule to fire when I click Edit, then click Save, even if I make no changes? If I am correct, I would like to find a way to make it fire ONLY if I make changes. I am trying to come up with some ideas for formula fields that would capture ("simulate") this capability. Has anyone else done this before?

Hi, I'm also looking for a way to do this. I want to email a specific user, for example, if the address/website for an Account is changed by a sales rep - but I don't see in the workflow rules a way to specify such a trigger. I can see if it changes from blank to non-blank, but not to just *something other than it was before*.
Is this at all possible, using the built in workflow engine?
I toyed with the idea of creating another, formula field that would be set to the original value, and then doing a comparison to see if the value upon saving is the same as the formula value, but I don't know if the formula would adjust immediately and render the test ineffective.
Thanks
