If one cell doesn't match another cell value, then notification send out

I have a condition where if a contact in Assigned To cell is different than the contact in Created By cell all in the same row, then send a notification to the Assigned to that the row has been assigned to them. They don't want notifications if both cells are the same contact.


Thanks!

    add a helper column check box type call it "Check" and use the following formula to check it:

    =IFERROR(IF(OR(ISBLANK([Created By]@row), ISBLANK([Assigned To]@row)), 0, IF([Assigned To]@row <> [Created By]@row, 1)), "")

    then use the following workflow:
