Auto-Responders

See More Features > Auto-Responders to use this feature.

This tool creates single automatic email Auto-Responders for your website. Visitors to your website enter an email address into a form. When the email address is submitted, the visitor is redirected to a Thank-You page and an email is sent to the email address. This email address is not added to your email lists.

To create an Auto-Responder to grow your email lists, use the Signup Builder and assign an Auto-Series (with as little as one email) to a special Subscriber Category (email list) for this Auto-Series.

Auto-Responder Editor

  • Form Code – This appears once your new Auto-Responder is saved. Select and Copy this code, and then Paste into your website code or online profile.
  • Title – For your reference only, briefly describing the auto-responder you are creating. This is required.
  • Subject – The Subject Line that will be shown in recipients’ email acounts. This is required.
  • HTML Content – Add images, media, or styled html content using our familiar Content Editor.
  • Text Content – This is alternative “plain text” content that is seen by very few people. This can be a short version of text in the HTML Content and/or direct the recipient to a “Printable Version” or “Web Page Version” available online.
  • Redirect URL – This is an option step since MyNewsletterBuilder offers an automatically generated Thank You Web Page based on your Personalization settings.
  • Status – When Active is selected, your email message will be sent when email addresses are submitted using the Form Code provided. When Inactive, no email messages will be sent and your visitors will receive an on-screen message to contact you for more information.

  • Choose Subscriber Categories – Choose the category or categories you want to link to this newsletter series. When subscribers add themselves or are added to a category you select, they will automatically begin receiving the Auto-Series you’ve linked to the category, starting with the first newsletter in the series.
  • Choose Frequency – Choose the intervals between newsletters in the Auto-Series.
    • Weekly – Newsletters will be sent out All Weeks, Odd Weeks or Even Weeks on the days you choose. Even weeks are typically the second and fourth weeks of the month while Odd weeks are typically the first and third weeks.

    • Monthly – Newsletters will be sent out once a month on the date you choose. If you choose 29, 30, or 31 and that date does not exist in the month, it will instead be sent out on the last day of the month.
  • Status – When Active is selected, your newsletter series will be considered ready to send. Your selected newsletters will be sent out on the days or dates you have selected. You can temporarily disable the series by selecting the Inactive option. When Inactive, your Auto-Series will be paused and new issues in the Auto-Series newsletters will not be sent.

Auto-Series Signup Boxes

You do not have to do anything special to allow visitors to your website or profile pages to subscribe to an Auto-Series. Just use the Signup Builder to create a Signup Box with a custom title under More Features > Personalization > Signup Builder.

New subscribers using your Signup Box choose from your list of visible categories. Since Auto-Series are assigned to Subscriber Categories, new subscribers to these categories will also start receiving the linked Auto-Series, starting with the first newsletter in the series and continuing at the intervals you select, in addition to receiving any email newsletters you send to these Subscriber Categories.

Auto-Series vs. Auto-Responder or Welcome Newsletter

Auto-Series allows you to create an auto-reply single email or email series using our email newsletter and email marketing Template System with the same great HTML and multimedia email features you use for your scheduled email marketing and email newsletters.

Auto-Series signup grows your email lists by using the same Secure-Subscribe™ Signup Builder forms as your newsletter signup forms.

Auto-Series works through our Secure-Subscribe™ subscriber management system. We use secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption for improved privacy and protection of subscriber personal information. Subscribers have the opportunity to select among the Subscriber Categories you have defined and enter additional contact information. You can set the default Subscriber Categories and Subscription Preferences under My Account > Settings.

Auto-Responders act in one click because the user does not have the opportunity to provide additional contact information, select Subscriber Categories and confirm by clicking the Submit button.

Auto-Responders are not email list building tools. Email addresses entered into the Auto-Responder forms are not available in your account or added to your email lists. Email addresses are not encrypted and may appear in server and router logs.

Welcome Newsletters are sent out immediately when new subscribers confirm their subscriptions. New subscribers who sign up through the subscription system get a confirmation email with opt-in and opt-out information. They do not have to respond to this email in order to be able to continue to receive newsletters. To set up a Welcome Newsletter, go to My Newsletters > View Newsletters and click the orange envelope icon located across from the name of your newsletter. To deactivate your Welcome Newsletter, go to My Account > Settings > Subscription Preferences and set the Welcome Newsletter to None.

Instant Import

See More Features > Instant Import to use this feature.

Pull shared newsletters into your account to edit and send.

You may set an authorization code under My Account > Settings > Newsletter Preferences to prevent others from using Instant Import with newsletters in your account.

If a newsletter is created using a custom template, using Instant Import to pull the newsletter into an account that does not have the same custom template installed will disable the account.

Instant Import allows networks of members to import, edit, and send newsletter prepared in other accounts. Members import newsletters on their own schedule. Instant Import is available for any account.

Instant Import vs. Mission Control

Enterprise Account with Mission Control™ is a premium feature for managing email marketing for many accounts and many users through a central control panel with the ability to customize contact information, photos, and branding for each linked sub account.

Newsletters may be created in the Enterprise Account or any other account (and imported into the Enterprise Account using Instant Import). From the Mission Control interface, newsletters (email marketing messages) may be Pushed into any number of linked or sub accounts for later sending. The Enterprise Account can also Send email newsletters and email marketing messages to subscribers in each linked sub account’s “General” Subscriber Category through the Mission Control interface so that individual users do not even have to login to the program to benefit from an effective email marketing program.

Mission Control is used by Enterprise Accounts to Push, Send, Track, and Manage email marketing campaigns for organizations of all sizes – from a few dozen linked sub accounts to several thousand offices with multiple tiers of account management.
