In eformity, you can also create and add various themes to an email signature. A theme allows you to predefine the font type, font size, and color of the text in the email signature. This article explains how to create and add themes.

Step 1: Log in to the eformity web interface

Creating and managing themes for email signatures is done through the eformity web interface. Therefore, you need to first log in with your personal credentials at yourcompanyname.eformity.net.

Step 2: Navigate to 'Configuration'

All email signature-related settings are found in the configuration section. To open the configuration section, first, open the navigation menu by clicking on the hamburger menu icon. This icon is circled in the image below.

Once you click the icon, a new element will open on the left side of the page. This new element contains up to five different tiles. Click on the tile titled 'Configuration'. This option is circled in the image below.

Step 3: Open the 'Themes' overview

A new page will now open. On this page, navigate to themes by clicking 'Email' in the navigation menu. Then, click 'Themes' in the dropdown to open the theme overview.

Step 4: Add a new theme

You are now on the overview page of all existing themes. On this page, you can add a new theme by clicking the 'Add' button. This button is circled in the image below.

After clicking 'Add', an element will open on the right side of the page. In this element, you can enter all the details for the new theme. The following table explains each field name:

Step 5: Add a theme to an email signature

Having successfully created a new theme in eformity, you can now add it to an email signature. To do this, navigate to 'Signatures' in the dropdown menu under 'Email'.

Once you see the overview of all email signatures, you can select an existing signature by clicking on it. Then click on the 'Edit' button to modify the selected signature.

A new element will open on the right side of the page. In this element, you will see all the settings for the selected signature. You can choose between 'Theme' and 'Apply theme' options here. Select and activate your new theme.
