Direct SubscribeEnabledIf this is set to "Yes" you will be given an email Address which will look like "usernameAutoresponderID@autocontactor.com".If a subscriber sends an email to this address their email addresswill be subscribed to the Autoresponder list (after confirming their subscription via a double opt-inmessage).UnsubscribeAutoresponderIf you have more than one Autoresponder created you will find that this field has a drop down box filledwith all of your Autoresponder names (except for the one you are currently working on). Selecting anAutoresponder here will cause your subscriber to be unsubscribed from the Autoresponder you choosewhen they subscribe to the one you are currently creating or editing. This feature is often used by peoplewho have all of their customers on one list, and prospects on another list and wish for them to remainseparate. Choosing the "prospect" Autoresponder as the unsubscribe Autoresponder in the "customer"Autoresponder, will cause them to be removed from the "prospect" Autoresponder when they buysomething and become a customer. In order for this scenario to work properly you will need to select the"customer" Autoresponder as your "Default Autoresponder" under the Setup » Orders menu.From Email AddressThis is the email address your Autoresponder messages will appear to come from. Make sure you tellyour subscribers to add this address to their email program's Address Book to ensure your messages gointo their inbox and not their Spam folder.From NameThis is the name your message will come from. Make sure you use a consistent from name in all of youremail messages so that your subscriber will recognize your message in their inbox. Changing your fromname all the time will cause you to have lower open rates and a higher unsubscribe rate.SharableThis is only important if you have more than one account with us and you wish to copy an Autoresponderand all of its messages to one of your other accounts. Unless you are actively trying to copyAutoresponders from one account to another, this option should be left at "No".Opt In VerificationMessageThis is the verification message your subscribers will receive when they are asked to "double opt-in".Subscribers will be required to confirm their subscription through double opt-in in certain sign-upscenarios.

We currently support HTML, Text orMIME (both) email formats. HTML formatting works great for newsletter type messages where you wantto add pictures and color to the email, while text works best when trying to send a more personalizedmessage and all that is needed is plain text.AlternateDestinationThis field will typically be left empty. If you enter an email address in this Field, our system will redirect themessage to the "Alternate Destination" email address instead of it being sent to the subscriber. Thisfeature is typically used to inform other people in the company that someone has subscribed to theAutoresponder list and from there they would know to follow-up or enter the subscriber's information intoan external database.For example, if your secretary needs to know when someone subscribes to your Autoresponder list, youmight wish to place their email address in this field so they will receive the message instead of the client.Subject LineThis will be the subject line of your email. Subject lines should be used to get the attention of yoursubscriber when they see the email intheirinbox.Aninterestingsubject line that previews what thesubscriber will find within the email will prompt them to open and read your message. Generic subjectlines that blend in with the other emails in your subscriber's inbox may get lost and never read by yoursubscribers. It is a good idea to test different subject lines in your messages to see what type of subjectsyour subscribers respond to.Message BodyThis is where you create the email message. You can enter your text into this area or use the WYSIWIG(what you see is what you get) editor to create an HTML formatted message.
