In this article I am explaining, how to make a simple SharePoint designer work flow for sending an email confirmation. More complex work flow I will explain in my coming articles.

Here I am showing you a simple list having following columns. My objective is to send an email notification to the "Assigned To" person.
First of all you have to open your web application in SharePoint designer
You have to go to File --> New --> Work Flow as shown below
From the next screen, you have to give a name for your work flow.
Select the list where you want to incorporate the work flow from the second drop down as shown below
Select Automatically start this work flow when new item is changed.
Click Next
From the next screen click on "Actions", then "Send an Email"
You will get the below screen. Click on "this message" link
Click on the red circle shown below
Click on Workflow Lookup...
Select "Current Item" and "Assigned To" from the next Screen
You can add email subject and body
You can also insert any content from the list or work flow as shown below by clicking Add Lookup to Body
