# How to set up your Scribe workspace

> Get your team's email signatures live in under 10 minutes. Follow the step-by-step setup for Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or manual installation.

Setting up Scribe takes under 10 minutes. The setup process depends on your email provider. Scribe automatically detects it when you sign up and shows you the right steps.

There are two paths:

* **Automated** (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365): signatures are deployed centrally. No action needed from your teammates.
* **Manual** (other email providers): teammates receive an invitation to install their signature themselves.

## Automated setup for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365

This is the recommended path. You manage everything centrally, and your teammates don't need to do anything. They might not even notice Scribe is running.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add teammates" description="3 min">
    Sync your team directory from Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID. Scribe imports your teammates' names, email addresses, job titles, and other profile information automatically. You can also add teammates manually if needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign signatures to your teammates" description="2 min">
    Select which signature template each teammate (or group of teammates) will use. You can assign different signatures by department, role, or location.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect an integration" description="3 min">
    Connect Scribe to your email provider to enable automatic signature installation. This is a one-time step that requires Super Admin access to your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install team signatures" description="1 min">
    Click **Install Signatures** to centrally deploy signatures to all your teammates instantly. Once installed, Scribe will automatically keep signatures up to date. Any future changes you make in Scribe are pushed to your team without any manual steps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Total setup time: approximately **9 minutes**. After this, Marketing can update signatures independently at any time without needing IT again.

## Manual setup for other email providers

If your company doesn't use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, you can set up Scribe manually. With this path, your teammates will need to take action. They'll receive an invitation to install their signature.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add teammates" description="3 min">
    Sync from your email provider or add teammates manually with their name, email address, and profile information.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign signatures to your teammates" description="3 min">
    Select which signature template each teammate will use. You can assign different signatures by department, role, or location.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite teammates to install their signatures" description="1 min">
    Click **Invite Teammates** to send an email invitation. Your teammates will be guided through a simple process to install their Scribe signature in their email client (such as Apple Mail or Outlook desktop). No technical knowledge required on their end.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Total setup time: approximately **7 minutes** for you, plus a few minutes for each teammate to accept the invitation and install their signature.

## What happens after setup?

Once signatures are installed, Scribe runs in the background:

* **Automated path:** any change you make in Scribe is automatically pushed to your teammates' email clients. No reinstallation needed.
* **Manual path:** when you update a signature, teammates receive a new invitation to install the updated version.

<Tip>
  If you use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 but chose the manual path initially, you can switch to the automated path at any time by connecting an integration. There's no need to start over.
