If you've just had a new HTML email signature designed and set up for you to use on our email signature tool (Email Hype) you, and anyone else using a valid company email address, can now access the signature setup at www.emailhype.co.uk
Instructions for setting up your signature
To begin the signature generation, do the following:
- Visit http://www.emailhype.co.uk and enter your email address in the field, as pictured below, and click 'GO'
- Once you submit your email address, you will receive an email confirmation in your inbox with a link to access the signature setup.
- Click on the 'create my signature' link and it will open up the signature setup page, allowing you to add your details and preview your signature.
- Once you're happy that your signature details are all correct and your signature looks good, choose an operating system and mail program closest to what you are currently using (you might not see the exact combination) and follow the instructions for setup provided. If you do get into any difficulty and your system is very different from the choice provided, please let us know.
Depending on your email program and operating system, you will have different options for installing. Generally speaking, if you're on Windows and using Outlook, you'll be able to use a Batch file to install the signature for you. If on Mac or other Windows or Linux email programs, the HTML signature will need manually installed using the instructions provided.
- Once installed your signature will be available within your email program.
