REDCap allows you to send automated emails from your project. Because of UW-Madison firewall settings, all emails sent from REDCap will come from redcap@ictr.wisc.edu. However, you can set a custom display name that will show up in a recipient's inbox.

Custom display names can be set for the following kinds of automated emails:

• • Automated survey invitations (ASIs)
  • Survey invitations triggered in other ways (e.g. Participant List, manual trigger)
  • Alerts and Notifications
  • Survey completion notifications

When you are setting up the text and conditions for your email, you will see a "Display Name" field for the "From" email settings. (Reminder: The email you set from the drop-down will only function as the reply-to email address! The email will actually be sent from redcap@ictr.wisc.edu. This cannot be changed.)

If you have a UW-Madison REDCap project and have questions about Custom Email Display Names, please send them to REDCap@ictr.wisc.edu
