Is Scribe right for me?

check tickYou need to show what signature clicks turn into: demos, signups, revenue.
check tickYou want an API, webhooks or an MCP server so your tools and AI agents can manage signatures.
check tickYou want to try every feature with your whole team before talking to sales.

Scribe is not for you if

You are Microsoft-only and price per user is the deciding factor.
You need Exchange Server on-premises support.
UTM tags in Google Analytics are all the reporting you need.
You want vendor support by phone around the clock.

How to switch

How to switch from CodeTwo to Scribe

Five steps. Run both tools side by side until the pilot group signs off, so nobody sends an email without a signature.

1

Connect your email platform and directory

Start a free trial, connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, and sync teammates from Entra ID, Google Directory, Okta or your HRIS. Names, titles and phone numbers fill in automatically.

2

Rebuild your CodeTwo template

Recreate your current signature in the no-code editor or start from a template, then map each CodeTwo field to a Scribe Smartfield. Add reply and internal variants if you used them.

3

Test with a pilot group

Publish to one team first and check rendering in Outlook, Gmail and on mobile. Choose client-side, server-side or both.

4

Turn off CodeTwo signatures

Once Scribe signatures are live for a group, remove those users from your CodeTwo signature rules. If you used cloud mode, disable the CodeTwo mail-flow connectors and transport rules in Exchange Online; if you used the Outlook add-in, unassign it in the Microsoft 365 admin centre. This avoids double signatures.

5

Roll out and move your campaigns

Publish to everyone, recreate active banner campaigns, and add the Scribe SDK to your website so signature clicks are tied to conversions from day one.
