Sending emails for each record from tabular form

Question

I currently have a requirements management tabular form that used to update or set job requirements inactive and/or covered.
We're a staffing agency and have salesmen across the country that will use this tabular form to quickly manage their requirements to mark them as covered or inactive if the position has been filled.
The multi-row update works fine since the form was built using the wizard, but I need to be able to send out an email for each record that's been marked as covered in the tabular form.
How can this be accomplished?
I'm running Oracle 12c and Apex 4.2.0 on a windows 2008 R2 server.
Thanks again.

Greg,
I took a different approach from what I originally suggested.  Since the tabular form is displaying only reqs that eligible to be covered, I chose to construct a process that would read the database after the reqs table was updated.  The code should find recent reqs covered by the salesman and then send out an email for each covered req.
Since I cannot see the data structure of your reqs table, I guessed the data type and size for the local variables in the DECLARE section, you many need to adjust these.
Give this code a shot and let's see where we get.  By the way, the naming conventions of your database are in need of naming standards.
The process needs to occur After Submit and after the Automatic Row Processing (DML) process that is updating the reqs table.  Make sure that the process sequence number is greater than the Automatic Row Processing (DML) sequence number.
DECLARE
   l_id           NUMBER;
   l_index        NUMBER;
   l_vc_arr2      apex_application_global.vc_arr2;

   l_pkey         NUMBER;
   l_date_wrote   DATE;
   l_sales        VARCHAR2 (100);

   l_job          VARCHAR2 (100);

BEGIN
   FOR c1
      -- Retrieve reqs primary key that have been covered
      -- in the last 2 seconds by the salesman
   IN (SELECT pkey
         INTO l_pkey
         FROM reqs
        WHERE     SYSDATE < (date_wrote + 1 / 46200)
              AND active = 'Active'
              AND reqs.sales = :p12_sales
              AND covered IS NOT NULL)
   -- Send an email for each req that has been covered
