Don't use workflow for this. Go with the flow designer, because that's the current way (workflow is deprecated).
You can run a flow on a schedule, do a look up to the records/fields and return that through a 'send email' or 'send notification' action.
Just get back to the person requesting this, because sending an email every 2 minutes is absolutely the worst thing you can do. People won't be checking on that email. They will create an inbox rule to move it to a different folder or to the trash. This requirement should be challenged.
Please mark any helpful or correct solutions as such. That helps others find their solutions.

Only use it for what you are currently using it for. Workflow is the 'old way' of doing things and ServiceNow has deprecated it with the Yokohama release. When you are creating new functionality, use Flow designer. If you need to update something existing in workflow, keep it there (or move everything to flow designer).
