If you choose to have the email come from the address the user entered into the registration form, choose The "From" information will come from the submitted form option in the dropdown menu.
The email address is set by a variable used in the registration form template. By default, the email information is contained in the appEmail variable. Insert this value into the From Email field.

Email templates
Email templates for the notification emails can be created by inputting content into the rich text editor under the Email Template section of the notification window.

You can set the email subject, from name, and from email in the fields below the address field. The From Email value must be a valid email address.
