Signature management?
Easy answer, no there isnt a built in way to manage signatures like this - you have to go 3rd party providers in general
The APIs should allow you to set signatures in OWA on a per user basis, and then you have to come up with some kind of way to set them in the Outlook client, maybe client install, or group policy or something similar.
Thank you for the promt reply, and insight into the problem. Great to hear from someone with experience. I cannot find any endpoints for the OWA signatures. There is a new mailboxSettings object in Graph/o365 api but that just contains autoresponses.
How are the third party providers doing it? My development team must be able to implement a similar solution as anyone else, or are the third party providers bying into some other kind of access to my tenant/exchange?
heres the settings object for anyone looking: https://graph.microsoft.io/en-us/docs/api-reference/v1.0/resources/mailboxsettings
- Hi Robert,
One such provider is Exclaimer which provide a signature service. To work with exclaimer you have to route your mail through to their servers so I think it's a more complex deployment and not something that leverages the REST API (Though I'm not 100% sure just my opinion)- Thank you for providing me with a third party example. Looking at their specs (https://www.exclaimer.eu/exclaimer-cloud/signatures-for-office-365/) it would seem like they are parsing the emails "on the way out", and would not show the signature to the actual user in their respective client. I wonder if they try to parse the content to insert it before any quoted mails, and how successful they are in this.
