How to add your Lynkle email signature to Gmail: setup guide

To add your Lynkle email signature to Gmail, save and copy it in Lynkle, then paste it into Gmail's signature settings on a computer. Choose whether to include it in new emails, replies, and forwards.

Step 1: Create and copy your Lynkle signature

You need a public Lynkle digital business card and Lynkle Pro or Teams to save and install a branded signature.

1. Open your Lynkle account, find the card you want to use, and select Email signature.
2. Choose a template and the contact details to show. Use your card's colors or choose a different background, border, and shadow. Check the preview as you make changes.
3. Select Create signature the first time. When editing an existing signature, select Save changes or Update signature, depending on the changes you made.
4. Select Copy signature. If you see Copy saved signature, your card has changed since the signature was saved. Update the signature first if you want those changes included.

Step 2: Open Gmail's signature settings

1. Open Gmail in your browser and select the settings gear.
2. Select See all settings.
3. On the General tab, scroll to Signature.

Step 3: Paste your signature

1. Select Create new and give the signature a name.
2. Click inside the signature editor and paste with Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac.
3. Check that the image appears and links to your public Lynkle card.

Use a normal paste. “Paste without formatting” can remove the image and its link. If the signature is missing, copy it again from Lynkle and replace the contents of the Gmail signature editor.

Step 4: Choose defaults and save

1. Under Signature defaults, select your signature for new emails and, if you want, replies and forwards.
2. Scroll to the bottom of Gmail settings and select Save Changes.
3. Start a new message to check your signature. Send a sample email to confirm the image and card link work.

Gmail adds the signature to the message types you selected. Check your signature settings separately if you also send mail from a mobile app. For Gmail's current options, see Google's official signature guide.

Updating your signature later

Changing your digital card does not replace the signature installed in Gmail. Review and save the updated signature in Lynkle, then copy and paste it into Gmail again. Previously sent emails are not rewritten.
