Is it possible to dynamically put something in the “From Address” field in the Alarm Pipeline notification blocks?

For instance, we have a pipeline setup for all of our alarms that already has all the notification blocks setup and we have a From Address with, for example, [alarms@company.com](mailto:alarms@company.com). We have built an internal ticketing system that successfully triggers a tag with alarms that uses that same pipeline, but want the from address to have something else like, [ticket@company.com](mailto:ticket@company.com). Is this possible?

Thanks

The barrier to that is normally the security restrictions on the mail server. As a spam prevention measure, most services verify that that From: address matches the account that logged in to submit the email. Some servers can be configured with a list of allowed From: addresses. If you run your own mail server, it is relatively easy to set up. Relative to the difficulty of running one’s own mail server, that is. /:

Would this allow us to dynamically use the same notification block with different “from addresses”? That field doesn’t have a binding option and not sure it allows parameters, eg. something in curly braces.
