What is identDIGITAL SIGNATURE?

identDIGITAL SIGNATURE is an add-on module for identDIGITAL Business, not a standalone product. Every SIGNATURE user needs a digital employee profile in Business; that profile supplies the personal and contact data for the signature. Organisations can design signatures centrally, assign them to employees and insert them automatically into new Outlook drafts. identDIGITAL does not read or send emails.

SIGNATURE works with identDIGITAL Business

identDIGITAL SIGNATURE is an add-on to identDIGITAL Business, not a standalone product. Each SIGNATURE user needs a digital employee profile in Business, which supplies the personal data for the signature.

Already using identDIGITAL Business?

Your existing digital employee profiles provide the personal data needed for the SIGNATURE add-on.

No digital employee profiles yet?

During onboarding, identDIGITAL sets up identDIGITAL Business and SIGNATURE together as one combined solution.

Update contact details once. Profile and signature stay current together.

When a telephone number, job title, department, website or profile photo changes, an authorised administrator updates the digital employee profile centrally in identDIGITAL Business. The SIGNATURE add-on then inserts the current assigned signature in the employee's next new Outlook draft. Existing drafts and emails already sent are not changed retrospectively.

Consistent as a brand. Personal for every employee.

One source of data

Reduce duplicate maintenance between employee profiles and signatures.

A consistent brand presence

Manage colours, fonts, logos, images and legal information centrally.

Personal for every employee

Each signature can retain the employee's name, role, contact details, profile photo and profile link.

Campaigns without signature chaos

Schedule banners by date and assign them specifically by company, group or person.

Versions and previews

Track changes, view previous versions and restore them in a controlled way.

Automatic in Outlook

The active signature appears when a genuinely new message is created.

How central Outlook signatures work

  1. Connect Microsoft 365: An administrator grants the intended tenant consent and synchronises only the directory information required.
  2. Match employees: Microsoft users are matched to the appropriate digital employee profiles in identDIGITAL Business.
  3. Set the design and rules: Configure a central design, individual exceptions, versions, banners and campaigns.
  4. Sign in to the add-in once: The employee opens “identDIGITAL Signatures” in Outlook and signs in once with their work Microsoft 365 account.
  5. Create a new email: The currently assigned signature is automatically inserted into the next new Outlook draft.
