A Quick Way to manage Outlook email signatures

Jesper Frier

Send your photo in your email signature

First impressions can make all the difference. Make an outstanding impression by including your photo when you send your contact information to new customers.

Using eMailSignature deployment software this is easy to accomplish

Add URL to users photo in an empty field in your data source (e.g. XtensionAttrib fields in Active Directory).
Insert field in your email signature template - and make this field conditional so you can deploy the same email signature to users who don't want contacts to see their photo.

Example

Locate an empty field in your data source. In this example, I will use XtensionAttrib7 in my Active Directory.
Now copy photo URL to XtensionAttrib7. E.g. http://www.emailsignature.eu/phpBB2/images/jf.gif. Repeat for each user that want thier photo in their email signature.
If I just insert XtensionAttrib7 in my email signature design, users not having photos will have a Red X. Instead, I use this conditional code:

Code:

{$$NULL(XtensionAttrib7)$$VALUE(<IMG height=82 alt="My Photo" src="((XtensionAttrib7))" width=82 border=0>)$$}
Insert in Code View.
Now only users with content in XtensionAttrib7 will have email signature with photo.
