CodeTwo cloud signatures get new features: rules based on custom attributes, alt-text in images & more

We’ve just released an update to the signature management app that brings some handy features to CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365:

  • signature rules can be based on custom attributes,
  • easy adding of alternative text to images,
  • new Future date / due date placeholder & more.

Find out how these features can help enhance the user experience and accessibility of your email signatures.

Support for custom attributes in the Azure AD filter and conditional placeholders

The Azure AD filter available in email signature rule settings now supports Exchange Online custom attributes (CustomAttribute1-15), CodeTwo custom attributes (created in the User attributes manager) and additional attributes synced from an on-premises Exchange Server, bringing more customization options to your signature rules.

That’s not all. You can also use custom attributes when configuring conditional placeholders. See the user’s manual to learn more about:

Simplified adding of alternative text to images

Providing alternative text (alt-text) for all images used in your signatures is recommended for many reasons:

  • it improves the accessibility of signatures to people with visual impairments,
  • alt text is displayed when images are blocked by email apps,
  • it might be legally required in certain jurisdictions to include alt text.

If you’re adding an image to your signature template, simply fill in the Alternative text field, as shown in the image below. You can also provide alternative text on the Picture tab in the editor (the tab appears when you click on any image in your template).

New Future date / due date placeholder

The Future date / due date placeholder can be used to add a specific date (and time) to your signature based on the time your email is sent. You can use it to inform email recipients about the validity period of an offer you are sending them, how much time they have to reply to your message, and so on. To insert the placeholder into your signature template, open the editor and select Placeholder > Other > Future date / due date from the ribbon. The configuration is easy:

  • Different view types for rules (new signature management experience only) – use the Change view drop-down menu at the top of the rules list to decide how you want your rules to be displayed: less rules but more details or the other way around. Here’s how the new Compact view looks:
