    Adding Email Signature


    Step 6. Click Save.

    It’s important to note that this will only work when sending emails in HTML format.  However, if you send an email in plain text format it will display <img src = "link here"/> in the signature.

    In Lightning Experience signatures will be added to all personal emails automatically, but inserting any template will overwrite current email and signature. Signatures won’t be added to emails that use HTML templates, as signatures need to be part of the template.
