Hello there,

I'm afraid that there isn't such a built-in feature within Toolset Forms plugin, it needs custom code, you can use filter hook "cred_mail_header" to trigger a custom PHP function, and change the mail from name to what you want. For example:

there is a Toolset form(ID: 123) sending the email notification, and you are going to change the email from name to custom field "customer-name", this custom field is created with Types plugin.

You can try this custom code:

function customise_cred_notifications( $headers, $formid, $postid, $notification_name, $notification_number ) {
    if ($formid==123 && $notification_number==0) {
		add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'mail_from_name_func', 11, 1);
    }
    return $headers;
}
add_filter('cred_mail_header', 'customise_cred_notifications', 999, 5);

function mail_from_name_func($name){
	$name = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-customer-name', true);
	$name = sanitize_text_field($name);
	return $name;
}

Please give it a try and let us know how that goes.
