    1. Please use a dot, not dashes, in the phone number to adhere to the CIA style guide. Ex: 216.421.7433

  3. After all the information is filled in, please click the button that states “COPY SIGNATURE TO CLIPBOARD” Note: Do not use the send via email button except for iPhone/iPad.

  4. A new, small menu will pop up. Choose the email browser for detailed instructions about how to add your email. The most common ones are: iPhone/iPad, Outlook, and Outlook.com. 

  5. Follow the instructions to make sure the new CIA email signature is added to your email browser. Then make sure to set it as the default email signature. 

If you would like a shorter email signature for reply emails, copy the same signature as above but remove the CIA logo in your email browser. Note: Shorter email signatures are only appropriate for reply emails.
