How to set up BrandMail Lite Mail Flow for Google Workspace
BrandMail Lite allows you to brand emails from your organization via a mail flow rule, which appends email signatures, banners and surveys to organizational emails sent by users when you use Google Workspace as your main email architecture environment.
If your users have the desktop version of BrandMail (Windows) emails sent from the desktop version will continue to flow directly from the workstation to recipients. BrandMail Lite will then take care of branding emails sent from mobile devices, tablets as well as those sent by Mac users.
