Hi,
I have set up an email automation using Outlook. Is it possible to add my email signature to this email and also change the from name to the business name instead of my personal name?

Hey
Make your email automation more professional and aligned with your branding,
Here’s what we can do:
we'll configure the Outlook connector inside Make.com (or any automation tool you're using) to include your custom HTML signature block in the body of the email.
This way, every automated email maintains a consistent, branded appearance. For the "From Name" issue, we can either send emails via a shared mailbox or configure a business alias—both are supported by Outlook with the right permissions.
Embed HTML signature directly in the email body content field.
Use a connected shared mailbox or authenticated alias to reflect the business name as sender.
Optional: Manage email content and personalization using Airtable as your dynamic data source.
Hey
As mentioned
If you are not sure how to do this, you can solve it easily if you have a Fillout account for example. ”Hacky workaround”.
Upload your signature image as an image to a form, and then just use the url provided by Fillout for such image. See screenshot below.
I tried using images uploaded on google drive at some point in time, read that it should be possible, but spent 5 minutes and couldn’t get it to work. So I decided to go with this approach instead.
Feel free to reach out if you need some help setting this up. Happy to help.

Oh, very cool! I love Fillout and recommend it for everything under the sun, but I never even thought about using them as the place to host images and grab URLs from them!
Nice tip,

Nice workaround,
Lol, Fillout is just the best. Thanks

For Outlook automations via Airtable, the default signature usually doesn’t carry over. You’d need to manually add your signature HTML into the email body in the automation step. As for changing the "From" name to your business, that typically depends on your Outlook or Microsoft 365 settings and permissions. Hope that helps!
For adding your email signature, you'd typically need to include the HTML of your signature directly in the body of the email action. Outlook won’t automatically append your default signature to emails sent through automation since it's not going through the standard Outlook interface.
As for changing the "from" name to your business name, that depends on how your Microsoft 365 (Outlook) account is set up. If you're sending from a shared mailbox or alias tied to your domain, and permissions are set correctly, you should be able to reflect the business name. This is where o365 signature management tools can really help, they allow centralized control over signatures and sender identities, especially in automated scenarios like this.
