There are two ways to get a Blinq email signature into Outlook: each person adds it themselves, or your IT team deploys the Blinq add-in so everyone can pick up the signature assigned to them. Unlike Google Workspace, Blinq can’t write signatures into Outlook mailboxes on its own. Someone installs the add-in, or someone pastes the signature — even when IT does the deployment, each person still opens the add-in once to collect theirs.

​
Adding a signature yourself

1

Copy your signature from Blinq

In the Blinq dashboard, open Email Signatures and copy the signature assigned to you.
2

Open Outlook's signature settings

In Outlook on the web, open Settings, then Mail, then Compose and reply.
3

Paste it in

Paste your signature into the signature box, name it, and save.
4

Set it as your default

Choose it for new messages, and for replies and forwards if you want it there too.

​
Deploying the Blinq add-in across your team

The Blinq add-in is on the Microsoft marketplace. Your Microsoft 365 administrator can push it to everyone at once rather than asking each person to install it.
1

Create the signatures in Blinq first

An admin creates each team member’s signature in Blinq and assigns it to them. Nothing appears in the add-in until a signature has been assigned.
2

Open the add-in listing

In the Blinq dashboard, go to Settings → Integrations and select Connect under Outlook in the Email signatures section. This opens the Blinq listing on the Microsoft marketplace.
3

Deploy the add-in

In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Settings → Integrated apps and deploy the Blinq add-in to your organisation.
4

Wait for it to reach everyone

Deployment can take up to 24 hours to propagate, and people may need to restart Outlook before the add-in appears.
5

Each person collects their signature

Team members open the Blinq add-in in Outlook, sign in to their Blinq account, and select the signature assigned to them.
This isn’t a silent push. Deploying the add-in makes it available to everyone, but each person still opens it once and signs in to apply their signature. If you need signatures applied without anyone touching them, that’s only possible with Google Workspace today.

Things worth knowing

  • HTML signatures are switched on by request. By default a Blinq signature is a single image linking to your card. Email support@blinq.me to have HTML signatures enabled for your workspace.
  • Mobile doesn’t render them. The Outlook mobile app only supports plain text signatures. Apple Mail on iPhone is currently the only mobile client that displays a Blinq signature.
  • Signatures aren’t linked to cards. Updating someone’s card later doesn’t change a signature already created from it — edit the signature itself.
  • Signing in on Outlook mobile takes an extra step. Outlook add-ins don’t support single sign-on on mobile, so the add-in asks you to sign in even when Outlook already knows who you are.
