• Configure usermessagedriver-email  

 Configure as below. Please make sure Sender Address is blank, so we will be able use this UMS driver for any "from" email (e.g. chintan@springsoa.com, hr@springsoa.com, which want to use for this demo)

• Configure Workflow Properties as below

Driver Name     : HR

Property Name : EmailRespondToAddress
