Change the From and Reply-To Address

Before you define the address for the From and Reply-To fields, set a profile option to make that change possible. If you’re not using the default email address, you must do additional setup steps.

Here’s how you change the from and reply-to address for a specific workflow task:

  1. If you plan to use any address other than the default, you need to do these steps to avoid email delivery issues:
    • Make sure that Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is set up.
    • Verify that whichever email address you want to use is valid.
  2. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Applications Core Administrator Profile Values task in the Application Extensions functional area.
  3. Set the From and Reply To Email Address Configuration Enabled (ORA_FND_BPM_FROM_EMAIL_ADDRESS_ENABLED) profile option to Yes at the Site level. This setting will take effect after about an hour.
  4. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Task Configurations task in the Application Extensions functional area. Or, depending on your offering, you might use a different functional area or another approval setup task.
  5. In BPM Worklist, on the Task Configuration tab, search for the workflow task in the Tasks to be configured pane.
  6. Select the task from the search results and click the Edit task icon in the toolbar.
  7. Open the Notifications subtab.
  8. On the Notifications subtab, click the Expand More icon.
  9. Select one of the Email: From and Reply To address options.
    • Select Default email address to use the default from and reply-to address. The address that you see for this option is the default from address. The default reply-to address is separate and could be a different predefined value.
    • Select Submitter to show the task submitter’s email address. If that address can't be determined for a specific notification, the default email address is used.
    • Select the last option to show a specific email address. Enter the address in quotes, for example "your.company@oracle.com".
  10. Click the Save icon in the Tasks to be configured toolbar.
Tip: If you later want to revert to the default email address for all workflow tasks, just set the profile option back to No at the Site level.
