Note

You have to be connected as a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator to install the Scribe Outlook Add-in.

This integration works for Microsoft 365 users with licenses, not personal Outlook accounts.

This integration will install your Scribe signature on the Microsoft 365 PC and Apple desktop apps, as well as on the Microsoft 365 web version.

For an automated installation, Scribe ensures 24/7 brand consistency. This is achieved by Scribe continuously comparing teammates' signatures to the approved Scribe design. If discrepancies are detected, Scribe automatically triggers a reinstallation of the correct signature design.

When you move a teammate in your Microsoft Entra ID to another group it automatically moves it to the appropriate Scribe department.

When you deactivate a license for a user in your email provider, the user's signature will be removed from Scribe as well as from your subscription.

Rest assured, Scribe is SOC2 Type II compliant, ensuring the safety of your data.
