Email From Field

[JayDub]

Is it possible to have a different display name shown in the TO field of an email in a Task or Triggered action. For instance, when you set the TO field to info@acme.com the recipient will see "info" as the name of sender of the email. I would instead like the name to be show as Acme Info. In Outlook, this is done by prefacing the email with the user name like: <Acme Info> info@acme.com. But, in looking around, and testing some different syntax, I can't find anything similar for the TO field in Caspio. Any ideas are welcome.

I don't think it will work on Task/Triggers as it requires a valid email address format Perhaps you can use Zapier Integration with Email services.

It's a standard when it comes to automatic emails. For regular emails that is sent by the prime email, this usually happens. But with automatic ones, the regular sample@test.com as the To is the one by default.

I believe this is not possible through Triggered Action or Task, but you may check the Email Feature of DataPages

Thanks @TellMeWhy. It's odd that it would be allowed with datapages and not tasks. Unfortunately, I have a process that runs once a day to send out emails about upcoming events so I'm not able to use a datapage for sending of the email.

Hi! Just an update! Caspio recently release and you can now have the ability to verify the FROM email address that you are using on DataPages, Triggered Actions, and Tasks as well as your domain. All the emails that you are using will be available and listed on the Email section under Account Settings. For more information, you may read it here: ihttps://howto.caspio.com/release-notes/caspio-31-0/

Hello! Caspio now allows us to set display name in the From email address we are using in DataPage and trigger/task as well.
