From Text Input: hrsystems@denallix.com Output: HR Systems

Allows you to set an alternate email address as the 'From' value for the email. For example, when a workflow sends an email, by default the email is sent by the account configured in the feature activation page, but you can provide an alternate From email address if you want the email to come from a different account.

The service or user account that is sending the email must have Send On Behalf of or Send As permissions to send an email on behalf of another account. You configure these in Microsoft Outlook. For more information see Allow members to send as or send on behalf of a Group. If you do not assign these permissions you may get an error message saying: "The user account which was used to submit this request does not have the right to send mail on behalf of the specified sending account. Cannot submit message.".

There is no validation on this property. If an invalid email address is provided for the From value, the email will be sent from the account that is executing the SmartObject.

When using input methods such as Create, use the email address as the From value for the email. When using output methods such as Load or List, the email account name is shown as the From value. For the email address, see the From Address property.
From Address Text Output: hrsystems@denallix.com

The email address returned for output methods such as List and Read. This is the email address for the From value for the email. For the ‘From’ email display name, see the From property.
