Add step

? You can adjust the default From address within the Settings of Gmail in the Accounts tab. (It's the very same area you were just at in Step 5.) Here, you can also select whether you'd like to set a rule where the default From email address is the same as the address the message was sent to.

For example: Emails sent to support@processdriven.co will be replied to with support@processdriven.co as the From email.
