### [Changing the From Email Address for Email Summaries](https://wpforms.com/developers/changing-the-from-email-address-for-email-summaries/) **Published:** October 26, 2025 **Author:** Umair Majeed **Content:** Would you like to customize the **From Email** used specifically for WPForms Email Summaries? By default, WPForms uses your site’s admin email or the email defined by the global `wpforms_emails_mailer_get_from_address` filter for all outgoing messages. However, if you want to use a different From Email **only for the Email Summaries**, you can easily achieve this with a few lines of PHP. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to apply a custom From Email exclusively to the weekly Email Summaries without affecting any other WPForms emails. --- By default, WPForms sends all email notifications using the same From Email address. You can change this globally with the [wpforms\_emails\_mailer\_get\_from\_address](https://wpforms.com/developers/wpforms_emails_mailer_get_from_address/) filter. However, this method applies to all outgoing emails (such as form notifications, confirmations, and Email Summaries). If you only want to modify the From Email for the **Email Summaries**, you’ll need to target that process specifically using the code snippet below. ## Adding the Code Snippet You can use the following snippet to set a custom From Email only for Email Summaries. If you need help with where or how to add snippets to your site, please review [this tutorial](https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-add-custom-php-or-javascript-for-wpforms/). ``` function wpf_add_summary_from_address_filter() { add_filter( 'wpforms_emails_mailer_get_from_address', 'wpf_set_custom_summary_from_address' ); } add_action( 'wpforms_email_summaries_cron', 'wpf_add_summary_from_address_filter', 5 ); function wpf_set_custom_summary_from_address( $from_address ) { // --> IMPORTANT: Change this to your desired sending email address. // This should be an address on your domain, e.g., 'no-reply@your-domain.com'. return 'example@your-domain.com'; } function wpf_remove_summary_from_address_filter() { remove_filter( 'wpforms_emails_mailer_get_from_address', 'wpf_set_custom_summary_from_address' ); } add_action( 'wpforms_email_summaries_cron', 'wpf_remove_summary_from_address_filter', 20 ); ``` This code temporarily changes the From Email before the summary email is generated and restores the default value afterward. That way, only your **Email Summaries** are affected — all other WPForms emails will continue using the default From Email. And that’s it! You’ve successfully customized the **From Email** for WPForms Email Summaries only. Would you like to also change the From Email for all WPForms emails?
