# How to remove your email signature from text messages

## Automatically remove email signatures from your text messages using simple stop commands

TextBetter looks for specific words or symbols—called stop commands—within your email.

When a stop command is detected, TextBetter will send everything above it as a text message and ignore everything below it, such as your signature or disclaimer.

For Example → “\]” = stop command

##### 💡 **Pro Tip:**

TextBetter comes with a series of [default stop commands](https://my.textbetter.com/user-guide/how-to-remove-your-signature-block#Default-stop-commands) built in, which means in many cases, no action is needed—your existing email signature likely already includes a phrase like “Thanks” or “Regards.” When detected, TextBetter automatically uses this as the cutoff point and excludes everything that follows.

### **How It Works**

To ensure your email signature is not included in your text message, add a **stop command** to tell TextBetter where to stop reading your email. You can place the stop command in one of two ways:

##### **Option 1: Add after your message**

Place the stop command at the end of your message:

> **Savannah, did you get my voicemail? \]**

##### **Option 2: Add above your signature**

Place the stop command directly above your signature block:

> **\]  
> Best,
> 
> John Smith  
> President, ABC Company  
> Direct: (516) 555-5102**

### **Customizing Stop Commands**

Stop commands can be updated at any time by your [account administrator](https://my.textbetter.com/user-guide/what-is-an-account-administaror?hsLang=en).

You can add new phrases your team commonly uses, remove or edit existing ones, and customize behavior to match your email style.

- To update stop commands, log in to the TextBetter Admin Portal, navigate to Settings (or Messaging Settings), and edit your Stop Commands list.
