How to send an email to the user who got a record shared with him?

Question

Hello,

I would like to create a trigger that sends an email to the user letting him/her know that a record(and a link to that record) has been shared. I wrote a trigger to send an email when a record is deleted but I don't know how to modify that one so it works for what I am trying to accomplish. Any piece of code would be highly appreciated.

Yes, I am sort of new to coding, not to Salesforce..

Thank you.

I dont think trigger will be executed when the record is shared. For each object there is a share table.

You could write a batch job to get the records from sharetable based on lastmodifieddate and send out email to the user. you can schedule the batch to run hourly or daily.
