## Email sender name and 'from' address
52+
53+
Your email sender name is shown in your recipient's inbox when you send them an email. It appears alongside the email address your email was sent from, known as the 'from' address.

60+
61+
Before you can send emails, you must choose and provide your email sender name and 'from' address during onboarding.
62+
63+
### Choosing your email sender name
64+
65+
Use an email sender name that clearly represents your NHS organisation or service.
66+
67+
It should help recipients quickly tell who the email is from, for example:
68+
69+
{% include components/inset-text.html
70+
text='NHS Vaccination Invitations'
71+
%}
72+
73+
If you send emails for multiple organisations, such as GP surgeries, your email sender name can be more general. It should still be clear who the sender is and that it can be trusted.
74+
75+
Email sender names should not:
76+
77+
- contain special characters such as .@%\_();
78+
- use abbreviations and acronyms unless they're well known by recipients
79+
80+
### Email 'from' address
81+
82+
NHS Notify uses your email sender name to create your 'from' address. If you include spaces in your email sender name, they will be added as full-stops in your 'from' address, for example:
83+
84+
{% include components/inset-text.html
85+
86+
%}
87+
88+
Emails will always be sent from the notifications.service.gov.uk domain.
89+
90+
## Reply-to email address
91+
92+
A reply-to email address appears when a recipient tries to reply to an email. Emails with a reply-to address seem more trustworthy and are less likely to be labelled as spam.
93+
94+
It must be based on a real mailbox that you've set up, even if you do not monitor or respond to replies.
95+
96+
You must choose and provide your reply-to email address during onboarding.
97+
98+
### If you want recipients to reply to your emails
99+
100+
Include 'reply-to' in your reply-to email address, for example:
101+
102+
{% include components/inset-text.html
103+
104+
%}
105+
106+
### If you do not want recipients to reply to your emails
107+
108+
Include 'no-reply' in your reply-to email address, for example:
109+
110+
