    Now, if you want every user in your organization to use these links, you will encounter some obstacles:

    • Create deep links with the right attributes for each user.
    • Distribute these links to Outlook, OWA and any other email client your users may have, or instruct users to do so.
    • Make sure that these links are only sent within the organization, as they will not work for external recipients.

    When you bring all these things together, it turns out that adding these links to users’ signatures is an extremely time-consuming or even nearly impossible task. Fortunately, you can avoid all these hurdles by using CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365.

    When you save the rule, every employee assigned to this rule will have a deep link (which starts a chat or schedules a meeting with this person) in their email signature.

    It took me 5 minutes to add this rule. 5 minutes and all employees have uniform email signatures with their contact details, photos and personalized deep links to a team chat and a meeting dialog:
