  For sending a message to new case managers - I would suggest using Scheduled Reminders.
  
  * Create a new group "Case Managers". Add all case managers to the group.
  * Set a Scheduled Reminder on "Activity" of type "Open Case".
  * Limit recipients to members of the group "Case Managers".
  
  With regard to the tokens - there has been recent work to support case tokens on activities. See [CRM-19767](https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-19767) and the accompanying [casetokens](https://github.com/civicrm/org.civicrm.casetokens) extension. Note that I'm not sure that this will extend the functionality to Scheduled Reminders - but if it doesn't, I imagine it will get a coder 80% of the way there.
