Send email to assigned user Sugar CRM Rest API - php

Question

Normally assigned user gets email when created/updated a lead in Sugar CRM.
I am using the REST API to add/update leads in suite CRM.I need to send email to the assigned user.How can it be done?
$url = "http://{site_url}/service/v4_1/rest.php";
$username = "admin";
$password = "password";
function call($method, $parameters, $url)
{
ob_start();
$curl_request = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
$jsonEncodedData = json_encode($parameters);
$post = array(
"method" => $method,
"input_type" => "JSON",
"response_type" => "JSON",
"rest_data" => $jsonEncodedData
);
curl_setopt($curl_request, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$result = curl_exec($curl_request);
curl_close($curl_request);
$result = explode("\r\n\r\n", $result, 2);
$response = json_decode($result[1]);
ob_end_flush();
return $response;
}
$login_parameters = array(
"user_auth" => array(
"user_name" => $username,
"password" => md5($password),
"version" => "1"
),
"application_name" => "RestTest",
"name_value_list" => array(),
);
$login_result = call("login", $login_parameters, $url);
$session_id = $login_result->id;
$set_entry_parameters = array(
"session" => $session_id,
"module_name" => "Leads",
"name_value_list" => array(
array("firstnamename" => "name", "email1" => "email","assigned_user_id"=>"xxxxx-xxxxx-xx-x-xxx"),
),
);
$set_entry_result = call("set_entry", $set_entry_parameters, $url);
?>
I can update the record.I need to send the email to the assigned user id.

Looks like it's a known bug in Sugar API since version 6.5 (and not yet corrected).
Creating a new Lead via the API not sending email Version 6.5.16 (Build 1082)
Defect 68115: Cases created or updated and assigned via REST API doesn't send out a notification
In the original forum post a guy suggested using logic hooks as a workaround. I know logic hooks exist but never used them, though I believe it's a path to try.
Good luck!
