A Signature Block is a piece of your signature, such as an ad banner, disclaimer or address, which can be controlled separately from the rest of the signature. Signature Blocks are usually set up to ensure that these pieces only appear to certain email recipients, e.g. a disclaimer that only those external to your company can see.
You to retain full control of Signature Blocks by applying rules (simple, or advanced using C#) to customise when they are added as part of your signature.
You can create and apply an unlimited number of Signature Blocks.
Example Scenario
You might:
-
Use a company-wide block that contains personalised user information.
-
Attach a division-specific block with the correct logo, address, and contact details.
-
Add a company-wide disclaimer block at the bottom of every email.
In this setup, the signature is made up of multiple smaller blocks, each controlled independently.
Conditional Signature Blocks
Signature Blocks can be configured with conditions to determine when they should appear:
-
Internal or external emails. For example, you could show one version to colleagues within your organisation and another to external recipients.
-
Rule-based or scripted logic. You can use rules or C# scripts to decide which block is applied, for instance selecting a block based on department.
Reusability
Signature Blocks can be reused across multiple signature configurations. This allows you to maintain a consistent design, such as a company disclaimer or banner, without needing to duplicate effort in every signature.
Flexibility
You have full control over:
-
Who sees each block
-
When it appears
-
How it combines with other blocks
This flexibility ensures your organisation can deliver the right branding, legal text, and personalised information in every email.
