You can create a Email notification in Azure DevOps when a new work item is created for an issue or a task by following the below steps :

• login to https://dev.azure.com/

• Select the project on which you want to enable the email notifications --> Go to project settings

• Under project settings, click on notifications --> click on Add new subscription as shown in the below image (this will allow you to create a new rule to configure the alert mechanism)

• under category select Work --> under Template (select the template based on your requirement)
• In the Edit subscription widget ,Select the Deliver to option from the drop down list & select the required role to get notified with the email
• For filter criteria , we have selected the two fields "Remaining work & Effort "
• Remaining work fields is used to track Task that has less than 120 Hours (5days *24 Hours).
• Efforts is used to track the Issues which has less than 120 Hours as shown in the below attached image
