Notes

  • If we are not able to find a signature for a sender, the email will be transfered to Google as is.

  • If something wrong is happening on the scribe server (error when processing the email, server not available, ...) we don't store your email, we use the Gmail retry mechanism.

  • The server side integration is compatible with all client side integrations. We detect if the email already contains the Scribe signature to avoid double signature.
