Customizing the "Reply-To" Email Address and Email Sender "From" Line

Planning Pod gives you the ability to send out many email notifications directly from your account. For example, you can email proposals and invoices from inside your account directly to Contacts, or you can schedule email reminders for things like calendar appointments, To-Do's, itinerary items and invoice payments.

These emails must be sent from an @planningpod.com email address to help ensure that they pass through spam filters and are properly delivered. However, you can customize two things in the email header of the emails sent from your account:

1. Reply-To Email address - You can customize the Reply-To email addresses so that when a person replies to an email sent from your account, the reply will be sent to the Reply-To address(es) that you specify. You can set the Reply-To email address to either 1) the user who is sending the message or 2) the email addresses of one or more contacts in your account (if you want the same people to receive replies for all messages).
2. "From" Sender Name - Every email message has a "From" line that identifies the name of the sender. You can set the name of the sender to 1) the name of the user who is sending the message, 2) the name of the company/organization of the account owner (pulled from the account owner's information in the Contacts area), or 3) the name of one of the Contacts in your account (if you want all system emails to show they are coming from the same person).
