Email signature on Pipedrive - HTML not supported :(

It would be great to keep a consistent signature whether I'm emailing folks via Gmail or via Pipedrive. 

Immediately since setting up Pipedrive, I copied / pasted my Gmail signature into my PD Signature; unfortunately, after emailing several external contacts via PD I learned that my signature became "boxed" (see below), which of course looks awful...

Has anyone found a work around? Can we please get Pipedrive to support HTML in Signatures?

    You can insert images, but you have to do it through the builder only.

    You might not be able to make it 100% identical, but it can come close.
     

    You cant copy & paste html >> that wont work properly.

    Gotcha! I will try the builder and see how that goes ;)

    We have the same problem with our signatures, would be great if this could be improved to be able to send e-mail via Pipedrive instead of Gmail

    It's a pain to do, but I've been able to do it a few times with moderate success (very close to the original, with small exceptions) by fiddling around with the copy-and-pasted signature in Pipedrive, Gmail and Google Docs.

     

    End result is a signature with the image on the left and the normal signature details on the right. Those boxes still exist but you are able to essentially hide their borders by changing their color to white.

    How did you change the color to white?

    Hi Anabel!

     

    Please check out my Youtube video to show you exactly how I did it:

    Pipedrive accepts HTML email signatures because in the email composer, the signature appears normal.  See my example. The signature below was created with Bybrand and in HTML.

    I analyzed it thoroughly to find out why. Pipedrive is simply adding CSS inline style to all HTML table and "td" entities. The possible solution is to create a signature without using HTML tables.

    But, that way you will be able to create only vertical email signatures. Using paragraphs HTML "p", for example. The email signature of our friend Eli Cardon, has two columns. then it will not work.

    Hi folks and support team, 

    dont know if it's still relevant, but it sems to work somehow ... let's say to 80%, though not the very same. see screenshot: 

    image

    The thing is... 

    Left side: original html code with adjusted row spacing, everything cool... . 
    Right: odd arrangement via copy paste to the signature template.... (one might ask himself: WTF, where comes the difference from?? ok again new from scratch......) -->> please update the signature form! Please supply html import or similar... The styles DO not look like font type ARIAL... just one thing to mention... 
    Middle: how it finally looks in Gmail, again somehow different from the Pipedrive form.

    3 different styles... very confusing for an end user who has, like me, little exp in html coding.

    positive: 2 column tables DO work. With clean html code though. But it TAKES TOO MUCH PRECIOUS TIME to fiddle.

    Thanks. Would be nice to hear from the support how to improve this feature. 

     

    BR, Sascha

    We are struggling with the same issue, but Pipedrive support said they had NO solution to this very common problem.  This a pretty big miss in my books.

    +1 for HTML support in signature.

    It's a basic feature and right now something so simple takes too much time and effort.

    Wanted to bump this to see if it's gotten any traction with Pipedrive's product team. 

    We have banners in our outlook signature and it'd be nice to be consistent in Pipedrive, as i am trying to get my team to use it's native email more when dealing with clients.

    See signature below - if I insert the image banner it creates an attachment on the email to client. This can cause it to be blocked or stripped from the email. Preferable would be to reference the externally hosted image via HTML. 

    Hope Pipedrive will work on modernizing this email functionality. I know they'll need something similar for their new marketing email functionality @Mike van der Valk

    Hi @Alexander Abell 

    Thanks for the tag, I'm going to make our email and campaigns team aware of this, hopefully we have some thing in the plans but I can't see anything on the roadmap for now :(

    Please allow HTML Signatures - emails look different from gmail and pipedrive which is not good for automation and client trust

    Just adding one more vote for allowing full HTML signatures in Pipedrive. We have our team reverting to sending from Gmail simply because our signatures are off-brand in the Pipedrive email composer...

  • Hi @Mike van der Valk, any updates on this? Any feature cross-over from Pipedrive campaigns maybe?
