We know the importance of good email signatures as they reflect your professionalism to the readers and also helps them with the correct information they need to contact you. This is why we have come up with a perfect solution that allows you to create dynamic user signatures for email templates in Salesforce.

Now you can create perfect email signatures for all users that have different fields in Salesforce. The email signature may include name, email, and other contact information.

This would automatically allow the user sending the email to have his very own dynamic signature attached to the template. Wasn’t that great? We bet you would like to get the code for this one! So, let’s just jump into the code for this thoughtful solution.

Steps

  1. To begin with, go to Quick Find search > Classic Email Templates.

2. On the right of the screen, you’ll probably see a bunch of email templates that come “out of the box” and are in a folder called “Unfiled Public Email Templates.” To keep things tidy, let’s create a new folder for our HTML emails by clicking the “Create New Folder” link in the screenshot below.

7. Now, personalize the email by merging the First Name and Last Name of the Contact. To do that, in the “Available Merge Fields” box, select the Contact object from the far left picklist labeled “Select Field Type.” Once you do that, notice the middle picklist box labeled “Select Fields” reflects the native and custom fields available from the Contact object. I’ll select the “First Name”, “Last Name”, “User Name”, “User Title”, “User Phone” and “User Email” fields (by clicking it), which in turn displays the {!Contact.FirstName}, {!Contact.LastName}, {!User.Name}, {!User.Title}, {!User.Phone} and {!User.Email} in the “Copy Merge Field Value” box. To get this merge field into our Text email, copy {!Contact.FirstName}, {!Contact.LastName}, {!User.Name}, {!User.Title} }, {!User.Phone} and {!User.Email} from the “Copy Merge Field Value” box and paste it into the body of our email as pictured below.
