    Depending on your scenario, if you are looking to rotate through a couple of signatures you could add an image and have the web server serve alternating images.

    You could setup multiple rules for different sets of people, example here

    You could use a script to add a signature to Outlook see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22233264/inserting-signature-into-outlook-email-from-excel-vba

    There are paid options if you like, or alternatively you could setup a mail server and use a script.

    Hi @Rishineken Pongen ,

    You can create different Outlook signatures banner for different users and randomize them by using a random number generator in the message header.

    • Use the Apply this rule if… condition to specify a random number range for each mail flow rule. For example, you can use the A message header matches these text patterns condition and enter X-Random: 1-10 for the first rule, X-Random: 11-20 for the second rule, and so on. This will apply the rule only if the message header contains a random number within the specified range.
    • Use the Set the message header to this value action to add a random number to the message header. For example, you can enter X-Random for the header name and [1-100] for the header value. This will generate a random number between 1 and 100 and add it to the message header.
    • Use the Append the disclaimer action to add the disclaimer or signature banner to the message. You can use HTML or plain text to format your disclaimer.
