Description from extension meta
Chrome Extension to inject random quotes in your Gmail signature.
Image from store
Description from store
Version 2.0.2 includes a bug fix where a fade-in and fade-out on save feature was causing errors in the JSON panel.
----
This is version 2.0.1 of Random Signature Quotes for Gmail™, which includes the ability to add quotes to the signature for replies, not just initially composed messages. This has been a highly requested feature for many years now. 2.0.1 also includes upgrades to the extension architecture, moving from manifest v2 to v3, Chrome's newer extension platform.
----
Version 1.0.0 contained major improvements to the quote manager, accessible at the top right in the address bar. 1.0.0 made it much easier to add, edit, or remove quotes, without dealing with the complicated JSON markup from the previous version.
For power users, the JSON panel is still available, in case you want to export quotes or re-import a bulk collection of quotes.
----
To help inspire others, and so I could more easily see quotes I enjoyed hearing from famous, successful technology startup founders and other influential people, I wanted something that would put those quotes randomly in my Gmail signature.
Well, there wasn't anything out there that did that, so I created something that did. I specifically wanted to be able to control the quotes myself.
When you install this extension, my hand-picked quotes are selected by default, but you can change them by clicking the page action 'S' icon next to the favorites star in the address bar and editing the quotes.
The quotes are stored as a JavaScript array, so you may want to export them to a nice text editor like Sublime text if you're going to make extensive changes via the JSON editor.

- (2023-09-09) Paul T Brown: I've been trying to find a way to insert a random tagline in Gmail forever. I used to use Outlook and I wrote my own VBA script to do it but since I migrated to Gmail my emails have been boring with it. I can't believe I never found this until now! Excellent job on this, much appreciated!
- (2023-06-15) Jean Claude: Hello I would have like to use your extension but no quotes are injected in my emails I can, however, access the quotes panel. When I go to to inspect the popup I see those 2 errors: failed to load resource: net::ERR-FILE-NOT-FOUND glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff:1 failed to load resource: net::ERR-FILE-NOT-FOUND glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf:1
- (2023-05-22) Yosh Mantinband: EDIT 2023-05-22 Still works great! And James (the developer) is very responsive. I reported a couple bugs in the latest version a few days ago and he's already posted an update that fixes them! I continue to recommend this add-on highly! --- original review from 2017 --- Works as advertised. It was straightforward converting my Quotes.txt file into JSON (albeit I was challenged by some embedded tab characters, but I found & removed those) and then I pasted it in & the extension does the job. Recommended. It will be nice when it supports replies, but it already has value for me with its existing functionality. And here's an easy workaround for replies that I've learned. Just pop out the reply. When you do that, a quote is appended. Thanks!

- (2022-01-12) Jeanne Mawad: works as it says it works!
- (2018-04-17) Jack S: Took a bit of fiddling, but got it working in the end! Be sure to restart Chrome and log out of your email account, it won't work until then.
- (2018-03-20) Ron Doyle: Works just as it says, no issues. Yes, it took a little while to add my quotes and verses, etc. but it was worth it. I may be a little slow on this but I use the Pop out on replies and get no quote. Could someone provide the steps they use to get the replies to work? Thanks for the extension and thanks for the tip.
- (2016-11-07) Aleksandar Langer: I don't get it.. i can't access the option to change quotes. This is just retarded, life is not only about stupid coding and programming ....
- (2015-04-01) Michelle Shackleton: It took ages to replace all the quotes with my own, but now it's just perfect.
- (2015-03-31) Neil Kalman: This would be perfect if there was an option to add a quote on reply as well.
- (2015-02-26) Peter Kesting: This is a really cool app. I like that it can be customized, I've changed all the quotes with Bible verses, so people are getting a wide variety of verses. BUT only reason it is getting 4 stars and not 5, is that it doesn't work when you are replying to a message. The standard gmail signature appears on replies but not the random quote. Could this be fixed? Thanks
- (2015-02-10) Bryant MW: is Not working!!, maybe it worked before
- (2014-10-02) Eitan Burcat: I love it! Replaced the quotes with my own list - so it's even more fun :)
- (2014-08-04) Christian Bates: Easy to install and doe exactly what is says on the tin.
- (2014-07-23) Artemio mio: Cannot figure out how to work with it
- (2013-11-12) Markus Hernández: Didn't work with the default quotes nor with custom ones.
- (2013-11-08) Asif Kazmi: I really like this and I find it easy to use. This would be a 5/5 if I could get this to occur on "Reply" messages as well. For now it only works if I compose a new email.
- (2013-09-26) Maria Fernanda Cassias: How does it work? I cant see any signature when composing a new email.

I followed step by step installation and tryed to use it on my gmail account. It never worked, not with initial quote list, nor when I changed them wth mine. How can I see what's going on? Is there a log to see or a debug mode to try? Thanks in advance. - (2020-12-30, v:1.0.0) Jeffrey Holte: editing Random Signature Quotes for Gmail
Hi, I love the Random Signature Quotes for Gmail but want to add more quotes. I can't figure out how to edit my list. It's been awhile since I set it up. Thanks - (2018-11-08, v:1.0.0) Using my companies bank of quotes instead of "random Quotes"
is there a way i might be able to create a queue of quotes that I have to replace the bank of "random quotes" you're providing? - (2018-01-03, v:1.0.0) Kelly Gardin: Multiple accounts
Works great! Can I limit it to three of my four accounts in GMAIL?? - (2017-08-21, v:1.0.0) My Signature Reset
My custom signatures reset to the default quotes and I did not save my JSON code anywhere. Why did they reset? How can I avoid resetting in the future? Thanks! - (2016-07-26, v:1.0.0) doesn't work in my google apps for business
When I write a new email, there is no quote added to the signature. However it has worked in my personal gmail for a long time. I use HubSpot email tracker though in both business apps and my personal gmail. Could there be interference? Any ideas on how to fix this? - (2016-04-09, v:1.0.0) Antoine Martin: Larger JSON paste
Hello I have hundreds of quotes collected over 2 decades. I would like to use them but the JSON paste does not allow me to save when the body of the window is too big. In short it truncates my quotes database. thanks for considering a larger number of quotes possible. - (2015-09-30, v:1.0.0) Ben Richards: Custom quotes do not work
The default installation appears to work, but as soon as I edit the quotes, it stops working altogether. Even just removing default quotes, without adding new ones, breaks. - (2015-07-13, v:1.0.0) Fulvio Maria Dossena: Does not work for me
I've installed the extension, replaced the quotes and logged out and in. It does not seem to work. I cannot see any quote at the bottom of the email. Many thanks for your support. Sincerely, - fmd - (2015-06-17, v:1.0.0) Yosh Mantinband: Quick way to add a lot of quotes?
I have a few hundred quotes in a text file (separated by blank lines). Is there an easy way to add them? - (2015-06-17, v:1.0.0) Yosh Mantinband: Doesn't always work
In the regular compose window - it doesn't work In replies it doesn't work. Sometimes on a Compose window it works, but not always. - (2014-12-24, v:1.0.0) Tim Schelfhout: Not working anymore
Hello, since a certain time its not working anymore??? It used to work fine ... even replaced the original quotes with mine. But all of a sudden stopped working. Thought it had something to do with wrong syntax of my quotes but reinstalled the extension and it just doesn't work anymore?? Is this due to changes in gmail???
