An environment can hold several email integrations and designate different ones for transactional notifications versus campaigns.

Sending identities

A sending identity is a verified from-address (a from_email and optional from_name) that email can be sent as, independent of the integration’s default. Manage them under Sending Identities in the app, mark one as the default, and choose a specific identity per send with the sending_identity_id field on a message. If none is set, the integration’s default from-address is used.
