Email Signatures for Microsoft Office 365

How Email Signatures are Applied

When you create an email signature within CloudM Manage and apply this, either domain wide or to a specific set of users via Smart Teams, this signature is created as a mail rule within your Exchange Admin environment. As such you will not see the email signature appear in Outlook as you are composing a mail, it will be applied as the mail is sent.

Editing a Signature

To create the email signature for your users CloudM Manage has provided and powerful and flexible WYSIWYG editor. Using the selection of fields available on the left you can build up the required structure you require. We also provide a number of preconfigured templates which can be used as a basis or guideline when editing.

Exclude the email signature on replies and / or internal mail

There are occasions where you might not want to add a signature to an email, such as a reply (where the original sender already knows your contact details) or internal mail. Now, you have the option to exclude them from email signatures set up in CloudM.

Please note that we can only ensure that the specific email signature set up for the selected root organization or Smart Team is excluded. Another signature below this in the exchange rule list, even if setup in Cloudm (for instance a global signature), may still be displayed.

To exclude the email signature on replies and / or internal mail:

1. Navigate to Email Signature Management and select the root organization or a Smart Team, as required,
2. Make sure the Signature Enabled toggle is set to enabled (as shown in the screenshot below). If it is not, email signatures will not be displayed on any emails.
3. Next, in the Exclude signatures from section, set the Replies and / or Internal Mail toggles to enabled to exclude the signature on the selected email type.
   • Excluding email signatures on Replies means that the signature will not be added when you reply to any email, either internally or externally.
   • Excluding email signatures on Internal Mail means that the signature will not be added when you email or reply to any user in your organization.  
4. Select Update Signature to apply the changes.
