Setting Up Email Signatures in Gmail (Individual and Domain-Wide)

Create personal email signatures in Gmail and set domain-wide signatures for all users in Google Workspace.

Email Signatures in Gmail

### Individual Signature (User)

1. Open Gmail → Settings (gear icon) → See all settings

2. General tab → Scroll to **Signature**

3. Click **+ Create new signature** → name it

4. Use the rich text editor to add:

- Your name, title, company

- Phone number, website

- Logo image (paste or insert)

- Social media links

5. Set as default for new emails and/or replies

6. Save changes at the bottom of the page

### Formatting Tips

  • Use a table for side-by-side layout (logo on left, text on right)
  • Keep font consistent with email body (sans-serif, 10–11pt)
  • Limit images to 1 — large images increase email size
  • Test by sending to another email address

### Multiple Signatures

Gmail supports multiple named signatures. Switch between them when composing:

Compose → pencil icon (bottom right of compose window) → Insert signature

### Domain-Wide Signature (Admin)

Admins can append a footer to all outgoing emails:

1. admin.google.com → Apps → Google Workspace → Gmail

2. Scroll to **Compliance** → **Append footer**

3. Click **Configure** → enter HTML signature

4. Save

This appends the company footer to all user emails — even if the user has no personal signature.

### HTML Signature for Domain-Wide Footer

Use simple HTML — avoid JavaScript or CSS classes:

```html

<table>

<tr>

<td><img src="https://yourcompany.com/logo.png" width="80"></td>

<td style="padding-left:10px">

<strong>Your Company Name</strong><br>

www.yourcompany.com | +91-XXXX-XXXXXX

</td>

</tr>

</table>

```

### Common Issues

  • **Signature not showing in replies:** In signature settings, set under "On reply/forward" dropdown
  • **Images not loading for recipients:** Host image at a public URL (not Google Drive with restricted access)
  • **Mobile Gmail signature:** Set separately in Gmail mobile app → Menu → Settings → account → Mobile Signature
