Overview

Signatures builds the email signature appended to this client's outreach. You can either pick one of the ready-made default templates or build a custom signature in a small editor. Set the company details (website and logo) that the signature can pull in, use merge tags so each sender's name and title fill in automatically, save, then send yourself a test email to see exactly how it renders in an inbox.

How to use this page

  1. Set the company details

    In Company Details, enter the client's website (it autosaves) and upload or remove the company logo. These feed the signature so links and the logo appear correctly.

  2. Choose Default or Custom

    Use the two mode buttons. Use a Default lets you pick from the shared default signature templates, each shown as a live preview card. Custom Signature opens the editor to build your own.

  3. Build a custom signature

    Give it a name, then edit in the Visual editor using the toolbar: Bold, Italic, Underline, text color, Insert Link, upload or insert an Image by URL, and a horizontal line. Switch to the HTML tab to paste or hand-edit raw HTML. Click a merge-tag button to drop a placeholder like the sender's name or title into the signature.

  4. Preview and save

    The preview shows the signature with merge tags resolved so you can confirm it looks right. Click Save Signature. A Saved confirmation appears; the button stays disabled until a default is selected or the custom content is not empty.

  5. Send a test email

    Click Send Test Email, pick which connected sending account to send from, enter a recipient (yours is prefilled) and subject, and send. This delivers a real email so you can see the signature in a live inbox.

Common questions

From merge tags. Insert a merge tag where the name or title should go, and it fills in automatically for each sender when the email goes out, so one signature works for the whole team.
Start with a default template for a clean, on-brand look. Switch to Custom only when you need layout or wording the defaults do not cover. Either way, set the website and logo first so they render.
Use the preview (merge tags are resolved there), then Send Test Email to yourself and check it in a real inbox, since email clients can render HTML differently.
In Default mode you must select a template; in Custom mode the editor cannot be empty. Once either is set, Save enables.
