System generated emails from workflows and alerts will now show SharePoint Online as the sender display name

SharePoint Online has made some changes to the display names of system-generated emails from workflows and alerts. The display name of these emails will now be "SharePoint Online" to align with industry best practices. The underlying sending email address, [email protected], will remain the same. If your organization has Outlook rules or other processes related to email display names, they will need to be updated accordingly.
It's important to note that existing policies and rules that utilize the email address will not be affected by this change. In addition, if you use the "SendEmail" API or call SharePoint workflow or alert services via CSOM or REST APIs, these emails will also follow the new display convention.
It's recommended that you inform users of this potential change in their workflow and alert processes from SharePoint. Remember that this change only affects the display name of emails, not the underlying email address.
