Click the Generate embed code button. You will see a window popup.
Save each icon to your Mac’s desktop or folder:
Next, add the sender details into custom 1 below as shown, do not add a space in between the first and last name – we will add this later. You can also add the sender’s email address in custom 2 if you wish, plus any other information you’d like to see next to each response in your reporting in any of the spare custom fields, e.g. the sender’s team name or department, location, etc.
Click the pink “Generate Hyperlinks” button.
For multiple people using Thermometers in their Mac Mail signatures, generate a unique set of hyperlinks for each sender, entering the sender’s unique details each time.
Creating Mac Mail Thermometer signatures
Launch Mail. Select preferences > signatures:
Select the account you would like the add a signature to
Click “+” to add a new signature to that account
Rename your signature
Enter your signature’s text:
Drag your first icon from your folder / desktop on to your signature:
With the image highlighted, go to Edit > Add Link…
Sometimes it may not appear that it’s been highlighted, but it has!
Copy the appropriate tracking link from the Customer Thermometer popup:
You’ll want to add an ‘%20’ in between the first and last name to create a space between them when inserting each link. Then click ‘Ok’.
Repeat for the remaining 3 icons until you have built up your Thermometer signature.
Once the signature is built, close the window.
