To fix it, you must set the signature link manually. Subsequently, add their color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you enter a telephone number, add a link with the option <strong>tel:(your number here)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have an address in your signature, add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\">Google Maps<\/a> link;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You add an email address, add a <g class=\"gr_ gr_1423 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling\" id=\"1423\" data-gr-id=\"1423\"><strong>mailto<\/strong><\/g><strong>:(your email address here)<\/strong> link;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, you&#8217;ll paste the email signature into the email client, with the link already set up. With that, the platform won&#8217;t make any changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon\">To insert a custom color into a link, you must select all the text.
