## Introduction

Would you like to customize the from email address that the **Save and Resume addon** uses when sending the resume link? Using a small snippet, you can easily customize this email to be different from your WordPress admin email. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to achieve this.

## Creating the form

First, you’ll need to create a new form. We’re using one of the many helpful templates for our form. To learn more about WPForms templates, [please have a look at this documentation](https://wpforms.com/templates/ "Form Templates Gallery").

## Enabling the Save and Resume

Next, we’ll need to enable **Save and Resume** on the form. To do this, click on **Settings** from inside the form builder and toggle the switch for **Enable Save and Resume**. Once you’ve enabled this, you can proceed with configuring the settings and messages. For further assistance on the **Save and Resume addon** and setup, [please review this documentation](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-install-and-use-the-save-and-resume-addon-with-wpforms/ "How to Install and Use the Save and Resume Addon With WPForms").

Now it’s time to add the snippet to your site. If you need help with how and where to add snippets to your site, [check out this tutorial](https://wpforms.com/developers/how-to-add-custom-php-or-javascript-for-wpforms/ "How to Add Custom PHP or JavaScript for WPForms").

You’ll need to change the **$from\_address** to match the email address you want to set it to. And simply by adding this snippet, any email sent with the **Save and Resume addon** will appear to be from **from\_wpforms@gmail.com**.

The email settings may experience a malfunction if the SMTP plugins or custom codes are altered.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully used a snippet to customize the from email address. Would you like to also customize the **reply-to** email address?
