In email plugin script, how to find the display name of the sender

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In order to find the display name of the sender in an email plugin script, you would need to use the

getSender()

method from the

nlobjEmail

object. This method returns the email address of the sender. However, to get the display name, you would need to perform a search on the

entity

record type using the email address as a filter. The display name can then be obtained from the search result. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var email = nlobjEmail.getSender();
var filters = [];
filters[0] = new nlobjSearchFilter('email', null, 'is', email);
var columns = [];
columns[0] = new nlobjSearchColumn('entityid');
var searchresults = nlapiSearchRecord('entity', null, filters, columns);
if (searchresults != null && searchresults.length > 0) {
    var displayName = searchresults[0].getValue('entityid');
}

In this code,

nlobjEmail.getSender()

is used to get the email address of the sender. A search is then performed on the

entity

record type using the email address as a filter. The display name (entityid) is then obtained from the search result. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
