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.

1. From your personal settings, enter Activity Reminders in the Quick Find box, then select **Activity Reminders**.
2. Deselect **Email me when someone assigns me a task**.
