From Name and From Address

From Name vs From Address

If the from field in the JSON body of the API call is omitted:

1. The from name defaults to Nomsa

2. The from address defaults to <[email protected]>

Changing From Name

In our API, the from name of an email can be changed by the API user by modifying the from field in the API call. For example, to use New Product as the from name, the API user could use the following JSON body:

{
    "recipient": "[email protected]",

    "body": "Thanks for atending, Hope you are doing well.",
    "from": "Nomsa <[email protected]>"
}

The email recipient will see the following:
