# Email signatures

Keeping relies on Gmail's native signature functionality.  This allows you to be in control of which signature you append to your customer reply inside Gmail.

**Tip:** Create multiple signatures in Gmail and choose which signature you'd like to use.  This allows you to stay anonymous when you are replying from your support mailbox, if you like.
{% endhint %}
