In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an HTML email signature with custom attributes from Microsoft Exchange using the Bybrand editor. The HTML signature with Microsoft Exchange variables allows you to insert dynamic information, such as name, title, and phone number, directly into your email signature.
This provides a professional and personalized appearance to company emails easily. In addition to saving money compared to software like Exclaimer or CodeTwo, as you will only use 1 signature.
Activating the integration
To activate, visit the Integrations menu and click to connect with Exchange Online Tags, as seen in this example.
You will be directed to the main integration page, with some instructions and what is possible to do. These are the variables that will be available in the signature editor.
Here is the list of useful user variables that you can manually use in the HTML mode editor too.
- %%DisplayName%%

- %%Initials%%
- %%UserPrincipalName%%
