Your email signature is an important element of your marketing campaigns. It shows your brand personality, introduces the person behind emails, and provides necessary contact information.

To include a signature block on emails sent from Mercury Nexus you must first configure your Email Profile. Once configured your email profile will automatically appear in any emails you send from Mercury Nexus.

How do I add an email signature?

1. Open the Admin app and select My Details from the main left-hand menu.
2. Navigate to Email Profiles in the top menu.
3. Click the +Add button to create a new email profile.
4. Select the Edit Details tab and enter the following information:
   1. Profile Name.
   2. Display Name – who the email will appear as coming from.
   3. Email – your email address.
5. To include your company logo, select the Insert Logo. You can also upload your logo via the Load Company Logo button below.
6. You can toggle between the Preview and Edit Details tab to see your changes in real time.
7. Once you are happy with your design, check the Default box to automatically choose this profile when sending the email.

You can toggle between Preview and Edit Details using the tabs.

Note. For changes to take effect you will need to login out and back into Mercury Nexus.

EXPERT TIP: Hold down Shift when pressing Enter for single spacing between lines.

Keeping track of emails sent from your company can be a big task. Use the Emails report in Mercury Nexus to view all emails sent from your staff without the need to be cc’d on every email.

An email report will show you:

• Who created and sent the email
• Who the email was sent from
• The email address the email was sent to
• Subject line
• Date the email was created
• Date the email was sent (If there is no date here, the email was not sent, and it is likely there is a problem with the email address).
• Whether the email was opened
• Who unsubscribed from the email
• If an email has bounced. It means there are issues with the client's email which they need to resolve at their end (for example, their inbox is full).

How do I generate an email report?

1. Navigate to your CRM, and select Reports from the left hand menu
2. Navigate to Database Activity in the top menu
3. Select Emails
4. From here, you can choose to customise the report either by user or date
5. The report will automtically generate based on the filters you select. Highlighting an entry will bring up a preview of the email.
6. Right click on the table to Export that data into excel.

You can learn more about reporting here via the Connective Wiki.

Records that are deleted in error can be restored back to your database. You can restore the following types of records: Person, Opportunity, Tasks, Notes and Task Templates.

3. Highlight the record or multiple records that you wish to restore.
4. Click Restore and confirm by clicking Ok.
