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

Marketing wants to update signatures and banners without filing IT tickets.

You run Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or both.

You want people to see their signature while composing, not only after sending.

You need to show what signature clicks turn into: demos, signups, revenue.

You want an API, webhooks or an MCP server so your tools and AI agents can manage signatures.

You want to try every feature with your whole team before talking to sales.

Scribe is not for you if

You want banners targeted by CRM opportunity stage out of the box.

You want signature management and sales email tracking from one vendor.

You have several hundred users and the $500 minimum is not a concern.

How to switch

How to switch from Opensense to Scribe

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

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.

Rebuild your Opensense template

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

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.

Turn off Opensense signatures

Once Scribe signatures are live for a group, unassign those users in Opensense and remove the Opensense app or Gmail add-on; if you used server-side stamping for Google Workspace, remove its routing rule. This avoids double signatures.

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.
