Quick Start Guide

This guide helps you create your first email signature in Signkit. By the end, you'll have a professional signature ready to deploy.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

Step 2: Create Your First Template

Templates define how signatures look. Navigate to Templates in the sidebar.

1. Click the Add Template button
2. Choose from the template picker:

3. Fill in the signature details:

The signature is now ready to be installed in an email client.

Step 4: Deploy the Signature

Each team member needs to install their signature in their email client:

• Gmail: Copy the HTML signature and paste in Gmail settings
