Sql-server – get notification when event occur

Yes you can do that using Event Notification for deadlocks / blocking / create database / drop database, and many more events as outlined here.

Below is the script that will help you with Deadlock detection and email in real time :

It will create an alert as well as a TSQL Job to fire with all the details emailed to DBA team. look for change Here to replace required stuff.

use dba_db ---- change HERE use find and replace as per your database name !!
