It would be as easy as adding a new workflow step within your workflow model. You can use the AEM out of the box "Day CQ Mail Service" to send out emails; make sure you Configure AEM to use a Mail Server.

Watch this 16 minutes youtube video to walk through step by step on how to send out an email within starting a workflow process - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8fYQuZ8cwI

Hi I followed the procedure but my email status got Aborted!

@imadullakhan , for testing purposes, try using a gmail account's SMTP settings (https://www.androidauthority.com/gmail-smtp-settings-801100/), also you would need to enable the "allow less secure" app configuration on the gmail account (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en).

Also, tail the error log to review any errors, while using the Day CQ Mail Service; lots of good information are logged.

I had a problem with this in the past, and it seems like the email SMTP settings were not configured properly.

The likely reason the workflow would get aborted would be due to the payload being published/replicated, see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/workflow-is-getting-aborted-without-any-error-or-excep...

@imadullakhan Additionally you can use the Email API of ACS commons https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/e-mail/email-api/index.html for sending email via your workflow after following all the above answers to configure workflows.
