GMail has built-in Multiple Signatures (its called Canned Responses)
When looking to find a way to have multiple signatures in gmail, I found a lot of older blog posts talking about Firefox plugins, which aren’t great if you use multiple computers or a different browser.
So anyway, there’s a better solution, works on all platforms and its built in to gmail.
- Go to the Google Labs features in Gmail and enable “canned responses”.
- Add your signatures to canned responses. To add a canned response, “Compose” a new email, enter the signature you want, then just above the message text area use the “canned responses” drop down to save the signature.
- Repeat above steps for every signature you want
This is fabulous. Thank you!
Hi Eliot, thanks a bunch for the clever tip. I was just about to go the Greasemonkey plugin route when I found this post – a much better workaround, in my opinion. Thanks!
Agreed, this is cross platform, no need to install Greasemonkey plugin on all your access points. Your web site looks great BTW.
Thanks for this great tip – It is just what I was looking for for a client of mine!
Great tip! Exactly what I was looking for.
YAY! thank you! Been dying to figure this out for so long now! Bless your Gmail heart.
Not bad…
but the greasemonkey registers what email I’ve picked to send from and auto drops in the sig I preferred. This is still another step…
Good point, although I avoided a greasemonkey script as it requires you to set it up on every browser/platform you use.
