An email signature is a pattern of text, such as your contact information or a favorite quote, that is added to the bottom of every message that you send through Gmail as a footer.
Your email signature gives credibility to your messages by identifying you as the sender and letting recipients know who they are communicating with (your full name and a photo of you) Your recipients have access to your contact information by way of your email signature, which includes your phone number and email address, as well as the website of your firm or any current social media accounts.
- To access your account settings, open Gmail and select the gear icon located in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Click the option that says “See all settings,” then scroll down until you reach the part that says “Signature:”
- Simply select the “Create new” option. Give your new signature a name.
- Create your signature with the help of the Gmail signature editor.
- Look for the option labeled “Signature defaults” in order to make your Gmail signatures appear automatically when you compose new messages, forward messages, or reply to messages (directly below the editor)
- When you are finished, scroll to the bottom of the page, and then click the “Save changes” button.
