Make's Send Email Module "From" problem

Hey, I am facing a weird issue. I have a scenario in which I am sending emails using the Make Email Module: Send Email. I am editing the “From” field with a name that I am getting from an airtable field.

When sending the Email, in the input of the module I can see the correct “From” name but when I receive the Email, the “From” value is the email address that I authenticated the Email module with.

As far as I know, the From field should be a valid email field but even then, there are cases where it may not apply. You can read the description of the ‘from’ field in the module for more information

In your case, you seem to be using a string rather than an email so it is probably reverting back to the default sender email

Thanks for your reply @Khurram_Aziz I did read the description, in the second example given, we can see that “John Bush” can be used in the From field. Did I understand the example wrong? So then according to the example only an email can be used in the From field and not a name?

@Wahaj You would have to use the name (in quotation marks) + space + email as the description text says. See below screenshot for what I mean:
