# Creating a custom email signature
### Configuring your email signature
To create a default email signature for your email templates with HTML formatting, click **My Profile** in the top-right corner of your screen.

Navigate to the **Settings** tab and click the **Edit** button in the top-right corner of the page.

Scroll down the Profile Settings page until you find the Email Signature section, and configure your custom signature settings:
1. Enter a custom email signature in the **Signature** field.
2. Designate what name should appear on email replies you send through CareerPlug in the **Reply "From"** field.
3. Choose whether you want to be copied on all emails sent from your company's CareerPlug account by clicking the associated checkbox.

When you're done configuring your email signature settings, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the **Save** button.
%20Cropped%2c%20Save.png?width=670&height=215&name=Employee%20Page%2c%20Another%20User%2c%20Settings%2c%20Edit%2c%20Save%20(Nav%20bar%20minimized)%20Cropped%2c%20Save.png)
Your custom **Signature** will appear directly after the last line in any emails you send to applicants using a CareerPlug message template. You might input your name, job title, company name, and a logo. However, you can make it more general as well. For example, some clients input a generic title like "Human Resources" along with their company name.
If the **Reply "From"** field is left blank, the message will default to listing your name (i.e. the name of the user who sent the message). In the example below, the user is choosing to use a more generic email signature and email "from" name.
You can review your email signature by scrolling down the **Settings** tab in **My Profile**.
### Including your email signature on email messages
If you would like to include your email signature on an outgoing message, make sure you click the **Include your email signature** checkbox under the body of the message.
Once your message is ready, click the **Send Email** button.
Here is an example of what a message to an applicant looks like when a company has created a custom email signature and designated a Reply "From" name.
