How to set a custom sender name?

[ssenaria]

Is there a way to set the sender name in Hipchat? Right now it defaults to the label you set when you create the auth token.

see https://www.hipchat.com/docs/apiv2/method/send_room_notification
'from' property in the request body may be what you want.
However, in my test, the result is that the senders appear like "label - from - time" instead of "from - time".

Creating new tokens is easy enough otherwise (notification-only tokens if you're not admin check #46 )

I've got the same problem - need the from field exposed too!
