Anyone know if I can have the FROM address in a confirmation email be the response to a question?

For example, one of my questions (anonymous survey) asks the person for their email address. Using a regular expression it validates it as an email address from within my company.

I would like the confirmation email that gets sent out at the end of the survey to use THAT email address as the FROM address.

Can I do that easily?

This can't be done easily, you'd have to change the source code.

Figured as much. We are trying to integrate with a helpdesk application. Once the survey is completed, it will email a copy to the helpdesk which will create a ticket. Unfortunately, though the process uses the FROM address as the customer and we would have to manually extract the email address from one of the answers and attach it to the right customer.

Thanks for clarification. In this case I recommend to implement the following workflow:

1. Automatically redirect the user to a new script at the end of this special survey.

2. The script is configured to "know" at which DB/column to look for the email address and then calls a customized email function to send results AND put this certain email address into the FROM field.

3. After emails were sent, the user is redirected to a predefined website.
