# Aliases & signatures

Send from multiple email addresses and create professional signatures.

Control which email address and signature appear when you reply. Set up aliases for different contexts (support@, sales@) and create signatures that match.

### What are aliases?

An alias is an email address attached to an email account. Every email account inherently comes with at least one alias, known as the default email address. However, it is entirely possible for an email account to have multiple aliases.

{% hint style="info" %}
Consider the email account <admin@conferencebadge.com>. In addition to its default alias, <admin@conferencebadge.com>, it could have multiple aliases such as <help@conferencebadge.com>, <sales@conferencebadge.com>, <privacy@conferencebadge.com>, etc.
{% endhint %}

### What are email signatures?

Email signatures in Missive are customizable blocks of text automatically added at the end of your outgoing emails. They help ensure consistency in how you and your colleagues present your contact details, branding, and company information.

{% hint style="info" %}
Signatures can be personal, created by each user, or managed at the organization level, where shared templates ensure everyone uses the same layout and formatting.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://missiveapp.com/docs/core-features/aliases-and-signatures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
