Creating workflows from scheduled events that send email

[igilyeat]

Hi - I'm creating a new workflow using a custom field in the Activity Event.  Basically I need to send an email when an event is scheduled..  Unfortunately the "Add Workflow Action" in the workflow setup does not offer Email as an action type.  It only offers Task, Outbound Message and Field Update.  When using the Lead tables, Email Alert is an available type.  How can I make the Email Alert available when create a workflow that uses the Event fields?  Thanks,

No workaround that I've been able to find and the online help says its built this way by design.

Apparently, an APEX trigger will do this, chatting with a guy who says he can build it now
