How to set-up a different email signature for mobile devices?
Although it can be difficult to determine whether an email was sent from a mobile device by checking its headers, you can set up different email signatures for mobile devices using Sigsync with the steps below. This allows you to easily differentiate between emails sent from mobile devices and ensure that the appropriate signature templates are applied for mobile screens.
Step 1: Set default signatures in mobile with specific keyword / text
The first step is to set a default email signature on your mobile email client. This signature will act as a unique identifier for emails sent from your mobile device. In Sigsync, you can use a keyword-based condition to accurately identify the text in your default email signature and determine whether an email has been sent from a mobile device or not.
Example: Let’s choose ‘This email is sent from mobile’ as a default mobile email signature
Note: In order to set up an email signature on your mobile device, it is important to follow these steps for each mobile email client. It is essential to ensure that the identifier phrase / keyword or email signature is entered correctly to ensure Sigsync software can identify the message / keyword accurately.
Steps to set-up the signature in your mobile device:
- Launch Outlook for Android on your mobile.
- Swipe the screen from the left to right to open the side menu and tap the ‘Settings’ icon.
- Go to the 'Email' section of your mobile device's settings and select the 'Signature option. To allow Sigsync to recognize that the email was sent from your mobile device, replace the existing signature with an identifier phrase, such as 'This email was sent from my mobile device'.
- Tap the Apply (✔) button to save the changes.
Step 2: Set signature rules in Sigsync based on your mobile default signature text
To automatically detect the identifier phrase added to your email by your mobile client and replace it with a mobile-specific Sigsync signature, you can set up signature rules in Sigsync using the steps below.
- Login to the Sigsync dashboard
- Navigate to the 'Manage Signatures' tab and click the 'Set Signature Rules' tab
- Keep the default rule or create a new rule by clicking ' + ' button
- Give a name to the rule, Example: ‘Mobile-rule’ and click the ‘Save’ button
- Assign the required signature template to the rule
