Prepare the signature for different mail clients

  1. Generate the professional contact link with a short draft mentioning the email, without confidential details.
  2. In Gmail, Outlook or Mail’s signature editor, select a label such as Contact me on WhatsApp and attach the URL. The location and HTML support vary by version.
  3. Save it for the right account and send yourself a test email. Open the link in the received message on a phone too.

Schema to complete

<a href="WHATSAPP_URL">WhatsApp</a>

Uppercase identifiers are placeholders: replace them with the real link or value. This schema is not a working contact.

Check the result

Replace WHATSAPP_URL with the complete copied link. Pasting HTML into a plain-text editor can display the code literally. Keep an alternative contact and check whether a mobile signature replaces the desktop one. QR is useful on paper; signatures read on the same phone primarily need a clickable link.
