Email Signatures

One block of HTML per connected mailbox, attached by the send path rather than typed into the editor. Which messages it lands on is decided by one field, and the answer surprises people.

What leaves the building

Hi Dana,

Numbers attached. Happy to walk through them Thursday if that helps.

Best,

block attached at send
A hundred thousand characters of HTML, edited under your profile rather than in the composer. If the lookup fails the message still goes without it
A fresh message names nothing, so the branch falls through to the append.

The mechanism

How it works.

01

It belongs to the mailbox, not to you

The row hangs off the connected account and is deleted with it. Disconnecting therefore destroys the block rather than parking it, and reconnecting the same provider writes over whatever row is there, so an old sign-off can arrive attached to a new address.

02

A reply skips it, a forward does not

The append is decided by whether the outgoing message names the one it is answering. The composer only names one for a reply or a reply to everybody, so a forward is treated as a fresh message and picks the block up.

03

Attached at send, not shown while writing

The send path reads the row and puts the block under the body on its way out, so the editor stays showing only the words you actually wrote.

04

Off is a switch, not a deletion

Automatic appending is a flag on the same row, so a sign-off can sit unused through a campaign and come back without anybody rewriting it.

Where it sits

Two moments in every message.

Every message passes through the same seven. Email Signatures is the lit ones, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.

  1. 01
    Connect

    the account it syncs with

  2. 02
    Compose

    writing it, and from what

  3. 03
    Send

    leaving now, or on a schedule

  4. 04
    Arrive

    landing, and what it lands as

  5. 05
    Attach

    pinning it to the right record

  6. 06
    Book

    the meeting that comes of it

  7. 07
    Govern

    who may use what, and see what

The specifics.

8 facts
One per
Connected mailbox. There is no second one to choose between at send time
Size
A hundred thousand characters of HTML
Lands on
New messages and forwards sent from the composer, separated from the body by two line breaks
Skipped on
Replies and replies to everybody, where a quoted copy below already carries one
Never lands on
A cadence send or a workflow send, which carry the wording their own template holds. A signature belongs to mail a person composed
Edited at
The mail signatures page under your profile, not inside the composer
Ownership
Only on a mailbox you connected, and someone else's comes back refused. Disconnecting takes the block with it, so keep a copy elsewhere if it took a while to write
If the lookup fails
The message still goes out without it, and the failure is logged rather than shown to you

More in Email & Calendar

12 capabilities

Webmail, four sync providers, tracking, calendar and meetings.

Webmail

A full mail client inside the CRM, with snooze, send later, eight system folders and a reading sandbox that never runs a single thing the sender wrote.

Calendar Sync

Google Calendar writes out the moment you save and mails the invitations, and reads back on demand, so a meeting booked on a call is there before it ends.

Gmail Sync

Connect Gmail on one scope and mail arrives by push rather than polling, filed against the lead holding the address, with nobody having to forward anything.

Outlook & Microsoft 365

Outlook and Microsoft 365 sync through Graph with delta queries and subscriptions, so large mailboxes stay current without re-reading themselves.

Exchange Sync

A Microsoft mailbox brings its calendar and address book over Graph, on subscriptions that renew themselves, with a ten-minute pass running underneath.

Template Permissions

Grant a whole template folder to particular roles and teams, so regulated copy stays with the people allowed to send it. Filing is the act of sharing here.

Open & Click Tracking

Opens and clicks recorded against the record, with signed link identifiers so the tracking endpoint never trusts a parameter it was handed.

Meeting Scheduling

Book from the conversation, with the invitation, the joining link and the record all created together instead of in three separate tabs afterwards.

Zoom

Connect Zoom and a booking creates, moves and cancels the meeting for you, with the joining link and passcode riding inside the calendar invitation.

Google Meet

Pick Google Meet on a booking and the calendar write mints the link with the invitation, so everyone on the account gets it rather than finding it in a note.

Microsoft Teams

Connect Teams and a booking makes the meeting through Microsoft's own interface, carrying its joining address into the invitation the guests receive.

Email-to-Record Matching

Inbound mail attaches to the lead holding any address on it, sender or recipient, matched exactly once lowercased. Two columns, one query, no resemblance.
