How do I design and preview my first email signature in Xink?

Short answer:
Create a signature template using fields for personalization, then use the preview feature to test how it looks for different employees before deploying it.

If you already have an email signature, you can reuse it by uploading it to Xink and modifying it to match your company's style. You can upload an existing email signature from your inbox.

This guide explains how to design, preview, and optimize your first email signature in Xink.


How to create a new email signature

  1. Go to the SIGNATURES menu
  2. Click the + button

Add Signature Button

You only need to create one signature template for all employees. Xink uses fields to automatically insert employee-specific data.

Examples of dynamic fields:

  • Name
  • Job title
  • Email address
  • Phone number

Example

If all employees share the same company address, you can add it to the template once. Then use fields for personal details like name and phone number.

Why do images sometimes look blurry in Outlook?

Outlook resizes images automatically

Xink does not change your image quality. However, Outlook may compress or rescale images when emails are sent.

Outlook typically scales images to 220 PPI.

  • Upload images at the correct size (100% dimensions)
  • Avoid scaling images in the editor
  • Use optimized image files for best results

How to use a built-in template

  1. Go to the SIGNATURES menu
  2. Select Templates in the left panel
  3. Choose a template
  4. Click the gear icon and select Add to My Signature folder

Template Navigation

Add Template

The template is now available in your SIGNATURES section and ready to use.
