If your subscription is configured with Outlook Client for Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365, you can create a signature and then define signature rules to determine if/how it is deployed:
- Exclaimer Cloud deployment. Users compose and send messages from any client/browser/device, without signatures. The message is then routed to our Cloud service, where the first applicable signature is applied.
-and/or- - Outlook client deployment. Users synchronize signatures from Exclaimer Cloud to Microsoft Outlook, so their signature is displayed when they compose messages from their Outlook client. The message is then routed to Exclaimer Cloud, where text matching ensures that a duplicate signature is not applied.
