Sender Options: Blog Notification Email

[nmclain]

Can I set up our instant blog notification email so the sender is the author? If so, how do I do this? I only see an option for a specific person or "contact owner"/

Thanks!

Q: Can I set up our instant blog notification email so the sender is the author? If so, how do I do this? I only see an option for a specific person or "contact owner"?

Short A: Ok, so no.

Longer A:

The context within which a HubSpot blog post is published AND by whom it is authored is very separate from HubSpot marketing email notifications which are sent from HubSpot users only.

- see Verify the email address used to send marketing emails

Should you want your HubSpot instant blog notifiation marketing emails to come from a specific author that author would either need to be manually selected as the sender (for all instant notifications) OR designated as the Contact.owner -- ahead of time. (best practice)

Using a little Workflow kung-fu, you could have HubSpot auto-assign the blog author as the Contact.owner (on a post-by-post basis). But it wouldn't be very scalable without customization and could quickly get messy. Just a thought.

Again, {{ content.blog_post_author.display_name }} may only be used in context to blog content, not marketing emails.
