Yes. Scribe email signatures are designed to be responsive and display properly on mobile devices. How they work on mobile depends on which installation method you use — client-side or server-side.

​
Option 1: Client-side installation

With client-side installation, the signature is installed directly within your teammates’ email clients. Emails stay within your email provider and don’t pass through any external server. Mobile compatibility with client-side installation:
Works on mobileDoesn’t work on mobile
Gmail iOS appGmail Android app
Outlook app for iOS and AndroidApple Mail app
When someone sends an email from a desktop email client (Gmail web, Outlook desktop, etc.), the signature displays correctly on the recipient’s mobile device regardless of their email app — because the signature is already embedded in the sent email. The limitations above only apply to composing emails from mobile apps. Why some mobile apps aren’t supported with client-side: Client-side installation relies on each email app supporting signature injection. Some mobile apps — like Gmail for Android and Apple Mail — don’t allow external tools to modify the signature in the compose window, which is a technical limitation of those apps, not of Scribe.

​
Option 2: Server-side installation

With server-side installation, Scribe automatically appends signatures to every email after it’s sent — regardless of which device or app your teammates use. This means full mobile compatibility across all devices and email apps:
  • Web (Gmail, Outlook)
  • Desktop (Outlook, Apple Mail)
  • iOS (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail)
  • Android (Gmail, Outlook)
Server-side is the best option if mobile coverage across all apps is a priority for your team.

​
How server-side works

Emails are routed through Scribe’s secure servers where the signature is appended before delivery. Scribe cannot read or edit the content of your emails — the processing is limited to adding the signature. You can also combine both methods: if both client-side and server-side integrations are connected, Scribe defaults to client-side so users can see their signature while composing. Server-side acts as a fallback for devices and apps where client-side isn’t supported.

Which option should I choose?

Client-sideServer-side
Mobile coveragePartial — depends on email appFull — all devices and apps
Users see signature while composingYes — signature is visible in the compose windowNo — signature is appended after sending
Email routingEmails stay within your email providerEmails route through Scribe’s secure servers
SetupStandard — install from marketplaceAdvanced — IT support required
You can set up both integrations at the same time. Scribe will use client-side when available and fall back to server-side for unsupported apps — giving you the best of both worlds.
