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

Emily Johnson's email signature in Lynkle templates

The fastest way to add your Lynkle email signature to Gmail is to connect Gmail in Lynkle. Lynkle installs your saved signature for you and updates Gmail every time you save a change. You can also copy the signature and paste it into Gmail's signature settings on a computer.

Option 1: Sync your signature to Gmail automatically

Automatic Gmail sync is included with Lynkle Pro and Teams. Create and save your signature first, then connect the Google account you send email from.

Open your Lynkle account, find your card, and select Email signature. Save your signature with Create signature or Save changes.
Under Create and install, choose Gmail, then Automatic setup.
Select Connect Gmail, sign in to Google, and approve access to your Gmail signature settings.
When Lynkle shows Synced to Gmail, open Gmail and start a new message to check your signature.

Lynkle replaces the signature on your account's primary Gmail address. After that, saving changes in Lynkle sends the new version to Gmail automatically, so you never need to copy and paste it again. Previously sent emails are not rewritten. If you disconnect Gmail, Lynkle stops syncing and the signature already in Gmail stays in place.

If your company uses Google Workspace and manages signatures through Lynkle Teams, your administrator can deploy signatures to everyone's Gmail instead.

Option 2: Copy and paste your signature manually

Use this method if you prefer not to connect Gmail, or if you want to add the signature to a send-as address other than your primary one.

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.

Open your Lynkle account, find the card you want to use, and select Email signature.
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.
Select Create signature the first time. When editing an existing signature, select Save changes or Update signature, depending on the changes you made.
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

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

Step 3: Paste your signature

Select Create new and give the signature a name.
Click inside the signature editor and paste with Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac.
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

Under Signature defaults, select your signature for new emails and, if you want, replies and forwards.
Scroll to the bottom of Gmail settings and select Save Changes.
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

With automatic sync, save your changes in Lynkle and Gmail updates on its own. With a pasted signature, Gmail keeps the version you copied: review and save the updated signature in Lynkle, then copy and paste it into Gmail again. Either way, previously sent emails are not rewritten.
