Custom From Name

Overview

You can customize the "From Name" of the email you receive from form submissions. By default, the "From Name" is set to "Notifications". To change this, use the from_name hidden input tag.

Default From Name

Without any customization, the "From Name" in the emails you receive will be "Notifications".

Custom From Name

To specify a custom "From Name", add a hidden input field with the name "from_name" and the desired name as the value.

Example Code

<input type="hidden" name="from_name" value="Mission Control">

Full Example with Custom From Name

<form action="https://api.formslite.io/submission" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="ACCESS_KEY">
    <input type="hidden" name="from_name" value="Mission Control">
    <input type="text" name="name" required>
    <input type="email" name="email" required>
    <button type="submit">Submit Form</button>
</form>

By including the hidden input field for "from_name", you can personalize the "From Name" in the emails received from form submissions.
