  <p>Conditionals -> if the checkbox is checked -> show the E-mail field:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/6nrem.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/6nrem.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

  "These activity types will be excluded from automated email notifications to assignees."
