Follow up to this idea: =18948887#reply_18948887]https://community.gainsight.com/gainsight/topics/the-ability-to-change-the-from-email-address-when-u...



Looking for the ability to customize specifically the "from email" and "from name" in the email assist tool for our pooled account management program not just the send domain. We can control this in gmail using the from dropdown (see screenshot) and in JO via the standard form:

Use-case 1 -- Advisors (scaled CSMs) have consultation with a customer. They create a CTA and apply the post-consultation playbook which includes an email with a post-consultation materials. Using the above advisor as an example - the email should come from Sumat Lam "cateam@box.com". That way if the customer responds to the email, it is pushed back into the ticketing pool.



Use-case 2 (per Lane H.) -- Coverage while a CSM is OOO (maternity / paternity leave)



I do agree --- exposing this to everyone can be risky. Controls would need to be put in place to validate senders to specific email addresses.



Ideas around access: 

Designate a set of 'approved list of send from email addresses'. A CSM wouldn't be able to put anyone's email address in, but could choose from a list of available options. That way an email address could be exposed for a certain time -- like maternity/paternity leave, but then removed once the mom/dad returns. 



Permissions to 'approved send from lists' could be controlled by User, Role, and/or Profile.



I think a combination of the above would be perfect to protect against risk.

+1 for this feature.  We have a pooled model and want them to use Email Assist to send from the generic e-mail.  When is this feature expected to be released on the roadmap?

+1 as well. Allow Organization-Wide Email Addresses similar to other features in Gainsight.

Hi everyone,

I can't remember the last time I saw an idea with 30 "me toos". :)



I asked our Product team to provide an update, so stay tuned!

Hi All,

We understand the use-cases and this feature is on the roadmap but may not be available for another 3-4 months. We will post updates once we have clarity on the ETA.

Thanks,
Nitisha

Has anyone found any workarounds to be able to send from Gainsight while we wait on the ability to send from a different from address?

I just came across this thread and wanted to see if there was any update on an ETA or a workaround for the use cases described? We are looking to improve our CSM team's GS workflows and this functionality would be really helpful!

+1, we'd love to send these from support@ in order to have the tickets/emails get tracked through zendesk as our entire Services department works out of that system for customer communication. This is preventing us from using this functionality all together unfortunately!
