Note the Salesforce mobile app has separate settings for the task assignment notifications
that you receive via your mobile device.
Note When you create a task in Lightning Experience,
it doesn’t display an option to send an email when you assign a task. However, there’s a
personal setting to receive an email when someone assigns you a task. Depending on how your
admin has set up your Salesforce org, you can receive emails for tasks that you assign to
yourself or create with a status of Completed.
- From your personal settings, enter Activity Reminders in the Quick Find box, then select Activity Reminders.
- Deselect Email me when someone assigns me a task.
