How to find un-Used Workflow Email ALerts?
The details you seek are in the ToolingAPI, but are a little difficult to access.
What you want is the WorkflowRule.Metadata
. This contains the actions
, which is a WorkflowActionReference
collection. Essentially, these relate the WorkflowRule
to the WorkflowAlert
.
Of course, the problem with doing this via the Tooling API is that you can only query the Metadata
field for a single record at a time. So you would need to get each WorkflowRule and slowly build up a complete collection of all the referenced workflow alerts. And then you can compare that to the actual list to find which ones aren't used.
Here is a view of that data from a debugging session against a WorkflowRule.Metadata
.

DFB__Notify_Customer corresponds to the WorkflowAlert NamespacePrefix
and DeveloperName
fields in my dev org.
