Open the email editor where you want to add the signature (e.g. Campaigns or the Conversations email composer). 2. Click Custom Values. 3. Go to User, then select Signature. --- ### **Using an Email Signature in a Campaign** The `{{user.email_signature}}` merge field lets you dynamically insert a user's saved signature into a campaign email. Because user merge fields rely on the user context available when the email is generated, verifying the sender or assigned user helps ensure the correct signature appears. Add the merge field where you want the signature to appear in your campaign: `{{user.email_signature}}` For example, place it below your closing message so the appropriate user's saved signature is inserted when the email is generated. **Important:** If the signature appears blank or displays the wrong user's information, verify the user context associated with the email, such as the assigned user or sender. For additional causes and solutions, see [Troubleshooting Merge Fields](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/merge-fields-and-custom-variables/merge-fields-and-custom-variables/how-to-use-merge-fields-and-email-fallback-values). --- ## **Frequently Asked Questions** **Q: Is the email signature set per user or per sub-account?** Email signatures are saved per staff user within a sub-account. Each staff member can have a different signature. **Q: I updated the signature, but I don’t see it when sending emails. What should I check?** Confirm you updated the correct staff user, and verify whether _Enable Signature in All Outgoing Messages_ is turned on.  **Q: Can I format my signature (bold, links, etc.)?** Yes. The signature editor supports basic formatting so you can style text and include links. --- ## **Related Articles** - [How to use Custom Values](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/logic-and-fulfillment/logic-and-fulfillment/how-to-use-custom-values) - [User Access](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/settings/user-settings/user-access) - [How to Batch Schedule Email Campaigns](https://docs.ghlcustomercare.com/docs/marketing/campaign-settings-functionalities/how-to-batch-schedule-email-campaigns) --- Documentation for GHL Customer Care.
