# Email From Name

Set the display name on notification emails from your dashboard.

Source: https://statusdashboard.com/docs/status-dashboards/branding/email-from-name

The email from name is the display label recipients see in notification messages from this dashboard. Set it when you want inbox previews to show your brand instead of the platform default.

***

## Default behavior
The **Email from name** lets you set the **display name** recipients see in the **From** field of notification emails sent on behalf of this status dashboard — for example, `Acme Status` instead of `StatusDashboard`.

This is **not** the email address. The address is configured separately under [Email sender](/docs/status-dashboards/branding/email-sender). You can set a custom from name without configuring a custom sender address.

When **Email from name** is unset, notification emails use the platform default display name: **StatusDashboard**.

## Setup
1. Open the dashboard settings and go to the **Branding** section.
2. In the **Email from name** card, enter the display name you want recipients to see.
3. Click **Save Changes**.

To revert to the default, click **Reset to default** and save.

## How it works in sends
| Email from name | Email sender | From header                          |
| --------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------ |
| Unset           | Unset        | `StatusDashboard <platform address>` |
| Set             | Unset        | `{your name} <platform address>`     |
| Unset           | Verified     | `StatusDashboard <your address>`     |
| Set             | Verified     | `{your name} <your address>`         |

Subscription and event notification emails for this dashboard use the resolved from header above.
