How do I launch an auto responder campaign?


  • Want to send out the same message every day, week, ...?
  • Want to welcome new registrees?
  • Or a date triggered message (such as a birthday card)?

 

Use our recurrency feature*!

 

What does it do?

This can be used for instance for:

  • date triggered messages: sent every day to the contacts in your selected database that their contract will be automatically renewed in 10 days;

  • welcome messages: sent every week to all new subscribers in your database

*You can activate this option via your account settings. How to do this is found here

 

How does it work?

Prepare the email and the landing pages you want to include in the recurrent campaign.

Click the  button at the right side of the screen.

Choose the emails and/or landing pages you want to include in this recurrent campaign and fill in every field as you do for other campaigns.

 

On the To page, select the contact group that should receive the recurrent mailings (You can also select All contacts).

 

On the When page, define the period of sending first (Start and End time). If you do not fill in any start or end time, the recurrent scenario will start running now and will never end.

Then you create the recurrency settings. You define when exactly the recurrent mailing should be sent out and to whom.

  • In the When field, you define if the scenario should run every day/week/month/etc.
  • The Rule field defines the scenario: birthday, newcomer

 

 

Once you have setup your rule you'll need to test and launch the campaign.
