Email signature using Outlook

1. You can type your email signature at the bottom of the email, but if you’re looking to include an image, you would need to publicly host your image somewhere on the web where it is directly accessible to the general public.
   
   Then, you would use HTML code to embed that image in your email message by using the direct link to that image. For example, this is some sample HTML code that would insert an image that is publicly hosted with imghippo at a width of 400 pixels:
   
   <img src="https://i.imghippo.com/files/VbWn3333R.jpg" width="400">
    
2. Airtable doesn’t support changing the “From” name in its Outlook automation action.
   
   To change the “From” name, you would need to use Make’s Outlook email automations in conjunction with Make’s Airtable automations. Make offers significantly more advanced automations than Airtable’s built-in automations.
   
   If you’ve never used Make before, I’ve assembled a bunch of Make training resources in this thread. For example, here is one of the ways that you could instantly trigger a Make automation from Airtable.

Hey ​@Booksy.buzz 

 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 ​@Booksy.buzz,

As mentioned ​@ScottWorld, you’ll have to host your image.

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, ​@Mike_AutomaticN ! 😀

Nice workaround, ​@Mike_AutomaticN. All over Fillout and will be using that one too.

Lol, Fillout is just the best. Thanks ​@ScottWorld ​@TimBeeston!
