By Ryan A on 4/6/25

Description: Need to add a footer to all of your organization's Gmail messages? We'll show you how in this tutorial

Intro

Adding a footer to your Gmail messages is an incredibly handy feature for Google Workspace admins. This feature allows you to add informational, compliance, and/or promotional text to your organization's outbound Gmail messages without the need for each user to add the latest text to their individual signatures.

Setting up a footer is a super simple process and only takes a few moments:

Steps

1. Log in to the Google Admin console (you'll need Super Admin privileges, or sufficient privileges to manage organizational Gmail settings)

2. From the left-hand sidebar, navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail

3. From the Settings for Gmail page, click on Compliance
