Opensense on Office 365

Updated 1 week ago by Laura Goepel

What is Opensense?

Opensense is a service that allows the marketing team to centrally manage the appearance and content of email signatures across all devices.  

How does it work?

Opensense transforms a simple, plain text signature into a template that’s defined by marketing.  

Things to keep in mind:

There are a couple of situations where a Opensense signature will not transform:

  1. Viewing emails in your Sent Mail folder:
    1. Opensense signature will appear “un-transformed” in your Sent Mail folder. This is expected behavior.
    2. When replying/forwarding an item from the Sent Mail folder, the untransformed signature block on the original Sent Mail will be removed.
  2. If you send an email to yourself: jane.doe@abc.com to jane.doe@abc.com
  3. If you send an email to your own email alias: jane.doe@abc.com to jane@abc.com
  4. If you send an email to a linked personal email on the iPhone app. The iPhone app allows the transfer of emails between linked email addresses. When emailing yourself in this circumstance, the signature will not transform, because it was transferred within the app and not sent.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out at help@opensense.com
