Gmail Signature Extension

WHAT DOES IT DO?
Load Gmail signatures via URL (SSL). Aimed at businesses to keep signatures in one place. Easily update your teams signatures.

HOW DO I USE IT?

1) Upload your html signature to an SSL host
2) In the options of the extension, paste the URL to your SSL folder in the box. Hit save.
3) That's it! Your signature will automatically be inserted before, or upon clicking in the message field

Notes:

URL -must- be SSL.
Use the full URL path to the folder. eg: https://yourwebsite.com/signatures/
