01 How to change my sender's name?

 
  1. Go to Settings → Mailbox Settings → Channels.
  2. Then click on the Support Email channel of your choice.
  3. Select the Mailbox tab and scroll down to the Email from name section.
You can then change your sender's name directly on this screen.
Pro Tip: if you wanted your sender's name to be the name of the agent that sent the email, feel free to simply add #agent_full_name# or #agent_first_name# in the field and it'll automatically update it when sending.

03 Can I change my sender's name for external emails?

External email addresses have a specific From address that cannot be changed.

This ensures that all external messages remain in the thread but do not get sent to the address on the right-hand side of the ticket.

More importantly, it ensures that the response comes into the ticket but again does not get sent to the right-hand side address.
