# Masking the Sender's Name and Email Address in our software Emails

There are several ways that you can specify the “From” information for emails within our software. Both the email address and the sender's name can be customized. There are many reasons you may want to do this. Perhaps your SMTP settings have a general company email like testcompany@gmail.com but you want a campaign or workflow to send emails from membership@testcompany.com, or from a specific user's email address like paige.tester@testcompany.com. Follow these steps below to learn how our software determines which email address to use by default, and how you can customize your options:

_**NOTE:**_ If you are using Mailgun, the company email will be used if the lead is not assigned. You can find this under Settings > Business Info > Company Data > Company Email.

**Part 2: Checking if Contacts Are Assigned or Unassigned in** our software

* Check in **Contacts/Smart Lists**
