Owner Change Email Notification Not Received When Reassigning a Salesforce Record

Publiceringsdatum: Apr 2, 2026
Beskrivning

When a record (such as a Lead, Account, or Contact) is reassigned to a new owner, the new owner may not receive an email notification.

Common symptoms include:

  • Owner is changed and record is saved
  • No email notification is received
  • Email logs show no entries

This can occur when automation updates the same record and suppresses email notifications.

Lightning Experience:

  1. Go to Setup
  2. Search for Process Automation Settings
  3. Open Process Automation Settings

  5. Click Save

Salesforce Classic:

  1. Go to Setup → Workflow & Approvals → Process Automation Settings

  3. Click Save

Result

  • Email notifications will be sent even when automation updates the record after ownership changes
