AdSigner email signature templates are the simplest way to create a neat, modern and professional email signature. The templates are designed by top designers, who are experts in the psychology of business communication. The selected template allows you to quickly create a unified digital identity for all employees, which is aligned with the company’s corporate identity.

Let’s take a look at how to choose and customize an email signature template in the AdSigner web service.

Step 1

On the left side, you can find information that can be edited in the template. On the right side, you can track any changes you have made. For the ease of the final signature form visualisation, the blank fields are pre-filled with sample data, which can be switched on or off with the Include sample data function.

The URL format data will automatically be copied as a link to the landing page of the same name. All links can be edited in the Link to field that follows the data. Be sure to select the appropriate http:// or https:// protocol before the URL.

When adding links, make sure you select the right protocol (http or https) for it to work. Photo: AdSigner

ProTip: In the blog The benefits of clickable banners, read why adding URLs is important and what benefits they bring.

To add a banner, avatar and logo image, click the + symbol. The image can be selected from the gallery of items you have previously uploaded to the Images tab, or a new one can be uploaded directly from your computer. Once you have selected and confirmed an image, an icon will appear next to allow editing its size and shape, adding filters etc.

The lock icon next to each entry box allows you to lock any information in the template. This prevents the email signature users from changing the locked information. Users can enter their personal information in the unlocked fields by themselves after they have been invited to use the signature. The fields that are left blank and locked in the template will be neither displayed nor available for editing in the final signature.

When editing a template, you can click lock/unlock icon to disable particular information from being edited in signatures. Photo: AdSigner

You can stop editing at any time and save your work by clicking the Save template button. An edited template will wait in the Templates section, along with any others you have downloaded from the Templates store.

When you are satisfied with the template, press the save template button. Photo: AdSigner

Step 5:

To continue editing, click the three dots in the corner of each template tab and select Edit. You can also click anywhere on the template tab and continue by clicking on the Edit template button.

The edited template is ready for use in signatures. Invite employees to use it by clicking the Create signature button.
