Email signatures are appended to every email Alva sends — whether from the chat panel, a BDR agent, or a manual compose. You can create multiple signatures and set a default.

​
Creating a signature

Go to Settings → Email Connections and scroll down to the Signatures section. Click New Signature. The signature editor supports:
  • Rich text formatting — bold, italic, links, images, and custom HTML
  • Visual editor — a WYSIWYG editor for designing your signature
  • HTML view — switch to raw HTML for precise control
  • Preview — see exactly how the signature will look

​
Merge fields

You can insert merge fields that are replaced automatically when the email is sent:
FieldWhat it inserts
{{sender.name}}The display name configured for the email connection
{{sender.email}}The email address of the connection
Click the merge field buttons below the editor to insert them at your cursor position.

​
Setting a default

Toggle the Default switch on any signature to make it the default. The default signature is used automatically when Alva sends emails. You can only have one default at a time.

​
Testing your signature

Click Send Test Email to send a test message to yourself with the signature attached. This lets you verify the formatting looks correct in your email client before using it in real outreach.

​
Multiple signatures

You can create multiple signatures for different purposes — for example, a formal signature for initial outreach and a shorter one for follow-ups. When creating BDR agents or drafting emails, the default signature is used unless you specify otherwise.
