✍ Script

Let’s add a Provide Support Live Chat link with chat emoji to your email signature. Remember, these steps can be used with other email services too.

Open Outlook and click on File, Options, Mail then click the Signature button

Click on add new or edit an existing signature

If you added a new signature, give it a name

Now let’s go to Unicode-table.com and get the icon we’re going to use.

Search for speech balloon emoji 💬

Click on the Speech balloon

Click the Copy button so it copies it into your clipboard

We’re going to increase the font size to 20 and then paste the emoji into the signature box

Change the font size back to 12 and type in “If you have questions, we are available 24/7”

Go to your Provide Support admin console | My Account | Chat button Codes and click on Chat Button or Link For Emails (direct link is above) to review the text email link. Click on the copy Chat Button Code to Clipboard

Go back to Outlook, highlight Click here to chat and press CTRL K to add the hyperlink to the address textbox, and press OK

For new messages and replies, you can select this signature. I like to always include the signature as it makes it easier for the email recipient to find your information and/or links

Click OK to close the Signature window and click Ok to close the Options window.

Let’s test… click New Mail

And there it is! A signature with a speech bubble and not an image that may or may not load because of user settings or internet connectivity.
