Signature Template

A signature template is a reusable email signature layout that defines the visual structure, branding elements, and dynamic field placeholders. Templates allow organizations to create a consistent design once and personalize it for each employee with their specific contact information.

Key Aspects

Reusable Design

Create once, deploy to many. One template serves all users while personalizing individual details.

Brand Compliance

Locks in approved logos, colors, and fonts so users cannot deviate from brand guidelines.

Dynamic Fields

Placeholders like {{name}}, {{title}}, and {{phone}} are automatically filled from directory data.

How Signature Templates Work

1

Choose a Layout

Select from pre-built layouts or create a custom design using a visual editor or HTML.

2

Add Branding

Insert your company logo, set brand colors, and choose fonts that match your style guide.

3

Insert Dynamic Fields

Add placeholders for employee-specific data that will be populated from your user directory.

4

Assign and Deploy

Assign the template to users or groups and deploy. Each recipient gets a personalized signature from the shared template.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many templates do I need?
Most organizations need 1-3 templates: one primary template for general use, and optionally separate templates for executives or specific departments. Siggly lets you create unlimited templates.
Can employees customize their own templates?
In centralized management, templates are controlled by administrators. Employees receive their personalized signature automatically. Some platforms allow limited personalization (e.g., choosing a preferred pronouns field).
What makes a good signature template?
A good template is visually clean, mobile-responsive, under 600 pixels wide, uses web-safe fonts, and includes only essential information. It should render well across all major email clients.
Can templates include marketing banners?
Yes. Most signature management platforms, including Siggly, support banner slots in templates where administrators can add and rotate promotional images with tracked links.
