How does WiseStamp Process Organization Emails?
To better understand how WiseStamp's server-side solution works, here are two illustrations of the integration process with Google Workspace and Microsoft. First, the message is sent to your organization's email server. It is then redirected to the WiseStamp server-side host, where the correct signature is added. The message, together with the signature, is then routed to its recipient via the email server.
How do I Benefit by Using WiseStamp's Server-Side?
The server-side solution applies your WiseStamp signatures to email messages sent from any device and any mail client. You can therefore ensure consistency and professionalism across all outgoing emails, regardless of which email platform is used to compose them. Furthermore, the server-side solution does not require any additional apps, add-ons, or other changes to your WiseStamp environment. (Some configuration of your email server is necessary.)
Another advantage of the server-side solution is the certainty that the latest changes to your signatures will be displayed, as the WiseStamp server-side host checks to ensure that the most recent signatures are added to outgoing messages.
Is WiseStamp's Server-Side Solution Secure?
WiseStamp's server-side solution provides a secure and efficient way to manage email signatures without compromising the email system's security. WiseStamp does not store any email content on its servers, nor does it read or semantically understand the message content (text or attachments). Furthermore, WiseStamp processes email requests per account (tenant) and applies complete isolation for each account.
What is Hybrid Mode?
WiseStamp's Hybrid mode is a combination of client-side and server-side solutions, enabling your organization to use the advantages of both setups. The hybrid mode can be useful, for example, when you are already using a client-side signature but you'd like to have the server-side solution for mobile coverage.
The Hybrid solution is based on WiseStamp's ability to recognize its automatic signatures and not inject another signature. In Hybrid mode, the server-side host embeds a signature only when a client-side WiseStamp signature is not detected. This approach ensures that the organization's emails are delivered without any issues, and the security of the email system is not compromised in any way.
If you see two signatures at the bottom of your email, it's likely that you have a manually installed signature (copy/paste). To avoid duplicate signatures showing refer to this article.
