Submission Guidelines

Enable "Friendly Name" on Email tool

Please enable "Friendly Name" in the e-mail tool.

 

e.g. None <none@none.com>

 

When using this configuration, the workflow fails with error:

Error: Email (1): ComposerEmailInterface: Record#1 From Field contains 2 entries

 

"Fiendly Name" does work when sending a Workflow Event e-mail, but not in the e-mail tool.

Thank you for your idea! I've conducted a quick review of this idea to insure it has all the necessary components present for when the criteria is met for the idea to be submitted to product, and it looks good. For anyone interested in ideas similar to this be sure to check our out Category Reporting label and to check out our Submission Guidelines which go over the idea boards in a bit greater detail.

How do we vote for this? Being able to send emails with our name displayed like 'John Smith' instead of 'John.Smith@place.com' would be huge! This needs more exposure.

There seems to be another similar idea out there...
Idea -- Email Tool: Allow "Display Name" option for sender...

I liked both of them. 👍👍
