Is Scribe right for me?

Who should pick Scribe, and who should not

An honest checklist. If most of the right-hand column describes you, stay where you are.

Scribe is for you if

check tickMarketing wants to update signatures and banners without filing IT tickets.
check tickYou run Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or both.
check tickYou want people to see their signature while composing, not only after sending.
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 still run Exchange Server on-premises.
The lowest price per user matters more than analytics or Marketing autonomy.
IT owns signatures end to end and is happy with that.
You only need a compliant signature and disclaimer, with no campaigns.

How to switch

How to switch from Exclaimer 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 Exclaimer template

Recreate your current signature in the no-code editor or start from a template, then map each Exclaimer field to a Scribe smart field. 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 Exclaimer signatures

Once Scribe signatures are live for a group, remove those users from your Exclaimer signature rules. If you used Exclaimer server-side, remove its mail-flow connector and transport rule; if you used the Outlook add-in, unassign it in the Microsoft 365 admin center. 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.
