Send Email when new Record is Created

[crmnovice]

Hello,

We would like to be able to send an email message whenever a "new" record is created. I have used the after_save logic hook to successfully send an email. Though, this always fires whenever a record is updated.

We only want to send the email when a "new" record is created.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Thank you!

After further research, I found a very creative solution to this challenge posted by Angel, here:

The solution is to create a custom field with a flag. In my case the custom field (new_record_email_sent) is set to "No" when the record is created, and set to "Yes" while the after_save logic hook runs. Thus, the email is only sent once!
