I am automating gmails from a Google sheet but when I set up the Zap, the email sent has my ‘signature/sign-off’ in an attachment. I tried both plain & HTML settings in the Zap workflow but my normal email signature doesn’t appear correctly, except in an attachment. thankyou

Are you choosing your signature in the Signature field in the Zap Gmail action step?

Be sure to see the notes underneath the field for additional info.

Also, check this help article: https://zapier.com/help/doc/why-isnt-my-signature-displaying-dropdown

Thanks you Troy - I chose my one & only ‘signature default’ that Zapier found and presented to me for selection, which I assumed was my normal gmail signoff.

@bethc checking in to make sure you were able to get this Zap sorted! Let us know if you are still encountering issues!

Hi Liz,

I have the same problem and see this thread is still open.

Here’s what it looks like and yes, the signature is set correctly according to your instructions in my gmail account.

I hope you can help!

Thank you!

Hi @JohandeKock

I can see that this trouble with the signature has been reported as a bug with the Zapier Gmail integration. I’ve added you as an affected user on the issue, which lets the team know how many people are affected and also means that we’ll send you an email when we have an update. 

Could I also ask which app you’re using when you see this error with the signature? For example Gmail’s web app, the phone app, outlook, etc. We’ve seen that some apps are affected by this bug and some aren’t, so we’re gathering as much information as possible. Thank you!

Hi @Danvers

I am having the same issue. Could you please add me as an affected user, too? Where do I find a bug overview?

In our cases, only using Gmail shows the signature correctly. Using other apps like Outlook, Aquamail, standard iOS email app show the signature as attachment.

Furthermore, my sent Gmails always appear in the recipient’s spam folder.

Hi @lukasvr 

Thanks for your message, I’ve added you as an affected user on this bug.

We don’t have a public view of the bug, but I can confirm that we’re seeing something similar to what you’ve said: the signature works when viewed in Gmail but not for:

  • MS Outlook
  • Windows Mail
  • Outlook Webmail
  • iOS (on iPhones)

I’ll add that you’re also seeing the error when viewing emails with Aquamail, thanks for sharing that with us!

 

Regarding sent Gmails appearing in Spam, I can’t see a known bug related to that. With that issue, it’s best to contact the Zapier support team as they will be able to dig into your Zap with you. You can contact them using the Get Help form. I suspect that they will ask you if other emails sent from your Gmail inbox go to people’s spam folders so it’s worth testing that and letting the support team know what you find in your message to them. 

We’re having this issue too!

Hi @Ryan Flower!

I’ve added you as an affected user as well.

Hey @PHH,

Thanks for letting us know, I’ve just added you to the list of affected users on the bug report as well. We’ll be in touch by email to let you know when it’s been resolved! :)

Will you add us to the affected users list as well?  Our email bodies in Zapier are set to html, and the signature is coming through as an HTML attachment when viewed in Gmail on Safari. It is working correctly in the Gmail mobile app, though.
