Email Notifications are among the actions associated to a workflow rule. They are email alerts that are sent to leads/contacts and users in the organization. When you associate an email notification to a workflow rule, the selected email is automatically sent to the chosen recipients when the rule is triggered for records meeting the criteria specified in the rule.
