Signature designer

A signature designer that speaks email

Build signatures visually or write your own HTML. Signed fills in each person's details, shows a live preview and produces table-based HTML that Outlook renders properly.

Visual designer

Your brand, without the fiddly bits

Start from a layout, then change what you need. Colours, fonts, spacing, a photo, your logo, social links and a button all live in one panel, and the preview updates as you go.

You don't need to know any HTML. The designer writes it for you.

  • Choose from several layouts
  • Set brand colours and fonts
  • Add a photo, logo and social links
  • Include a call-to-action button, like booking a meeting

HTML editor

Prefer code? Write it your way

The HTML editor gives you full control. Paste in a signature from your designer or agency, replace the hard-coded details with variables and check it against real people before it goes live.

  • Paste an existing signature and add variables
  • Handlebars conditions for optional lines
  • Live preview as any person in your organisation

Variables

Details that fill themselves in

Use these in any template. Each one is replaced with that person's details from Microsoft 365, your CSV import or the portal.

Template variables and what they contain
VariableWhat it contains
{{display_name}}Full name as it should appear
{{first_name}}First name
{{last_name}}Last name
{{job_title}}Job title
{{department}}Department
{{email}}Email address
{{phone}}Office or direct phone number
{{mobile}}Mobile number
{{company}}Company name, or your company default
{{website}}Website, or your company default
{{address}}Address, or your company default
{{linkedin}}LinkedIn profile link
{{twitter}}X (Twitter) profile link
{{photo_url}}Link to the person's photo
{{logo_url}}Link to your company logo

The legal disclaimer and live campaign banners are added under the signature automatically.

Built for email

Looks the same in Outlook as it does here

Web pages and emails are built differently. Outlook for Windows in particular ignores a lot of modern CSS, so Signed builds every signature from tables and inline styles, the way email has always needed.

  • Email-safe table HTML with inline styles
  • Company defaults fill in missing company details
  • A legal disclaimer added to every signature

Questions

Common questions

Can't see your question? Ask us directly.

Can we use the HTML signature we already have?

Yes. Paste it into the HTML editor, then swap the hard-coded name, job title and phone numbers for variables like {{display_name}}, {{job_title}} and {{phone}}. The live preview shows the result for anyone in your organisation.

What happens if someone's details are missing?

Company name, website and address fall back to the company defaults in Settings. In the HTML editor you can also wrap a line in a condition, such as {{#if mobile}} and {{/if}}, so it only shows when that person has a value.

Which fonts should we use?

Email clients only show fonts that are installed on the reader's device, so web fonts are often ignored. Pick a font with sensible fallbacks, such as Arial, Helvetica or Georgia, and your signature will look the same for almost everyone.

Can we have more than one signature design?

Yes. Every plan includes unlimited templates. Assignment rules decide which template each department, email domain or person gets.

Are the disclaimer and banners part of the template?

No, and that's deliberate. The legal disclaimer and any live campaign banners are added under the signature automatically, so you don't have to edit every template when a campaign starts or your disclaimer changes.

Is it safe to paste HTML from somewhere else?

Signature previews in the portal are sandboxed, so template code can't run scripts or reach the rest of the portal. It's still worth checking pasted HTML for anything you don't recognise before you publish it.
