Change sendAs email address in google mail api - google-apps-script

Question

I have searched but cannot find any examples
What I am sending is
//Send Email
var emailContents =
{
to: techManagerEmail+","+organiserEmail,
subject: "New Technical Support Request for " + eventName,
body: "Event Name: "+eventName+ "\n\n"+"Event Room: "+eventRoom+ "\n\n"+eventDescription +"\n\n"+ allEvents + "\n\n" + "Google Folder: "+newFolderLink+"\n \n"+techTeam+" Calendar Link: "+ calendarLink + "\n\n" + "Date Submitted: " + submitionDate + " by: " + submitterEmail,
};
MailApp.sendEmail(emailContents);
}
When I send, it sends as the user that created the form (me) when I want the person filling the form to be the sender - (I would also like the person filling the form to be the creator of the calendar event, but I think that may be a larger issue). It would also be nice to be able to change the display name.
I have looked at the api sendAs options but am struggling to work out how to use it or the syntax.
Any advice would be appreciated.
As requested, full code:
function onSubmit(e)
{
//Set General Variables
var formResponses = e.response.getItemResponses();
var submitterEmail = e.response.getRespondentEmail();
var submitionDate = e.response.getTimestamp();

There are limited ways you can achieve this. The only way to achieve that is by logging with the account of the person filling the form. If you're running the script automatically via a trigger, just set the trigger with this account.
There's an open issue about this on Apps Script tracker:

Hope this answers your question!!
