GmailApp.sendEmail 'from' option not working

[Peter Berkhout]

I can't get the following code:

GMailApp.sendEmail('m...@mydomain.nl','Subject of this email',Logger.getLog(), {name:'Save attachments from triggered attachment script',from:'log...@mydomain.nl'}

to actually put the from email address in send emails from my Google Workspace account. All emails from the script have m...@mydomain.nl (which is the default address for my domain) as the from email address.

I can send with the log...@mydomain.nl from the Gmailapp without a problem. It is just that within GAS it doesn't work. I also tried different aliases. Same results.

log...@mydomain.nl is is one of my aliases and it is in the returned list of GmailApp.getAliases(). I tried with both 'treat as an alias' checked and unchecked.

Do you have an idea as to what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Hi Peter,

I don't believe you can change the from email address. You can change the name and the reply to email address but not the from emailaddress. Otherwise this would be a great way for people to send phishing emails and fooling the recipients.

Thank you for your answer but According to Google's documentation you can, but only if it is one of your registered aliases. 

See: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/gmail/gmail-app#sendEmail(String,String,String,Object)

It is one of my aliases but it just doesn't work. I think I have to report as a bug and see what Google's answer is.
