# Workflow notification activities

Notification workflow activities notify users of events that occur during the workflow.

-   **[Create Event workflow activity](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/build-workflows/workflow-activities/r_CreateEvent.md)**  
The **Create Event** activity adds an event to the event queue, but does not immediately fire the event.
-   **[Notification workflow activity](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/build-workflows/workflow-activities/r_NotificationActivity.md)**  
The **Notification** activity sends an email or SMS message to specified users or groups.
