Things to know about email signatures

  • The owner of an email signature can create, update, or delete it.

  • Each user or team can have no more than one default email signature.

  • When you change the owner of an email signature, the signature reverts to non-default. For example, a signature is a default for user A. User A assigns it to queue X and queue X already has a default signature. The signature assigned will be non-default for queue X. If queue X does not have a default signature, the new signature will become the default signature.

  • If the From field is changed to a user, the user email signature will appear. When you select Insert Signature, all the signatures that the user owns will appear. If the From field is changed to a queue, the default email signature of the owner of the queue will appear. The owner of a queue can be a user or a team. When you select Insert Signature, all the email signatures that are owned by the queue owner (user or a team) will appear.
