Just testing this new signature add-on and was hoping to get the actual signature image to display in the email notification. Can't seem to do it. It just displays the link to the image on the server, which does me no good.
I am having my clients sign a contract and need to save the final version as a .pdf. So the signature needs to be displayed in the email to do that. Would be great if there was an option to email/send as a .pdf right from Gravity Forms.
Wrap the merge tag in HTML and create an image tag. Insert the merge tag in the SRC of the image tag you add to your Notification Message.
For example:
<img src="{Your Signature Merge Tag:ID}">I just tested this and it worked fine.
We'll look into how to make this easier for users simply by using the merge tag itself. I have some ideas.
What we are going to do is in the next release we are going to look at enhancing the merge tag for the Signature field so it works more like the Post Image merge tag. So for example...
The default merge tag would output the necessary HTML to display the signature:
{My Signature Merge Tag:ID}
You can append additional options to the merge tag to just output the URL of the signature:
{My Signature Merge Tag:ID:url}
We'll look at doing this in the next release. For now you can do what I describe above. But be sure to check out the blog post we'll release with the updated version (whenever that might be) so you can see what changes you may need to make to your Notifications.
Thanks Carl! That code worked for me. I was also able to use for the user notification too! Nice job on this add-on, it will really help my online real estate business.
@dvent, is your email client set up to display images? Can you export the form and email it to chris@rocketgenius.com please? I will check the configuration for you.

The signature image shows in my webmail so I guess it's an issue with Mac Mail not showing the image! Thanks!
The real way I want to use this form is to have the response sent as a PDF and the values added to my DB so the email thing isn't the biggest issue :)
Thanks Chris!

Not much to understand... read this post and it will tell you what to do to get the signature to display in your notifications. Carl explained it very clearly.
Did you try: {My Signature Merge Tag:ID:url} ?
No, like this: {Client Signature:3:url}
I am understanding now. Are you sending an html e-mail? If you aren't then that's why the code showed when you wrapped it in the img src tags. Can you please make sure you send it as an HTML e-mail if you want the image embedded rather than linked?
First try to put a check next to disable auto-formatting. Then using the html instead of visual tab for the content, put in the code that was mentioned above.
Can you send me a login to peralty@rocketgenius.com with a link to this thread and I'll take a look. Can you also forward me the latest e-mail notification test result?
No problem, glad we got it figured out.
