When you submit deals to funders, MCA Pilot can automatically append your email signature to the outgoing submission emails. This helps maintain professional branding and provides funders with your contact information.


Choosing Your Signature Setting

Navigate to Settings → Templates to choose how signatures work for your workspace. You have four options:

Setting

Best For

No Signatures

Workspaces that don't want signatures on submission emails

One Signature for Entire Workspace

Teams that want consistent branding on all submissions

Individual Signature for Each User

Teams where each broker should have their own signature appear on their deals

Individual Signature for Each Email

Teams using multiple email accounts that need different signatures per account


Option 1: No Signatures

Select this option if you don't want any signature appended to your submission emails.

  1. Go to Settings → Templates

  2. Under "Submissions Signature Setting," select No Signatures


Option 2: One Signature for Entire Workspace

Use this option when you want the same signature to appear on all submission emails, regardless of who submits the deal or which email account is used.

  1. Go to Settings → Templates

  2. Select One Signature for Entire Workspace

  3. Enter your signature in the Signature Text for Entire Workspace field

  4. Optionally, upload a logo in the Signature Logo for Entire Workspace section


Option 3: Individual Signature for Each User

Use this option when different team members should have their own signatures appear on submissions. The signature is determined by the deal's Originator field.

How it works

  • If the deal has an Originator assigned, that user's signature is used

  • If the deal has no Originator, the signature of the user submitting the deal is used

  • If the selected user hasn't set up a signature, the email is sent without a signature

Setup

Step 1: Enable the setting

  1. Go to Settings → Templates

  2. Select Individual Signature for Each User

Step 2: Set up each user's signature

  1. Go to Settings → Workspace

  2. Click on a user's profile

  3. Scroll down to the User Signature Text section

  4. Enter that user's signature

  5. Optionally, upload a logo in the User Signature Logo section

  6. Repeat for each user who will be assigned as an Originator on deals


Option 4: Individual Signature for Each Email

Use this option when you have multiple email accounts and need different signatures depending on which email account sends the submission.

Step 1: Enable the setting

  1. Go to Settings → Templates

  2. Select Individual Signature for Each Email

Step 2: Set up signatures on each email account

For existing email accounts:

  1. Go to Settings → Senders

  2. Hover over the email account you want to edit

  3. Click the Edit button

  4. In the Signature Text field, enter your signature

  5. Optionally, upload a logo in the Signature Logo section

  6. Click Confirm

  3. Complete the email connection process

  4. Add your signature in the Signature Text and Signature Logo fields during setup


Tips

  • Signature formatting: Use the text editor toolbar to add bold, italic, links, and bullet points to your signature.

  • Logo requirements: Only image files are accepted. Logos display at a maximum width of 200 pixels, so choose an image that looks clear at this size.

  • Changes take effect immediately: Once you save your signature settings, they'll apply to all future submissions.

  • Make sure signatures are set up: If you're using "Individual Signature for Each User" or "Individual Signature for Each Email," make sure each user or email account has a signature configured. Otherwise, submission emails will be sent without a signature.
