beginning followups with new users on a list only
« on: October 14, 2007, 01:37:07 pm »
Hi, I have an existing list I'd like to set up autoresponders with but only want the followups to begin with new users that sign up.  I'm not seeing how I could do this .. any suggestions?
 Thanks!

Greetings,

After adding your followups, on the Followups page click the "Reset Users" button.  Set all users to be at "End of sequence" by setting Seq # to your last followup's Seq # + 1.

New users will then receive followups and old users won't.  However, if you later add more followups ALL users will be in line to receive them (when due).  For the "old" users that may mean next dailymail unless you use the "update all users on this followup to new delay" option when adding the followup.

Please let me know if you require further clarification or if you want to do something else.

Regards

HI Dean, when I click reset a message just pops up asking me If I want to reset to Followup 1, Delay 0.. I don't see an option to set them to end of sequence.  I suppose I'm misunderstanding.

Sorry, this feature may not be extended in your version...  Do you know how to run custom MySQL queries with a tool like PhpMyAdmin, commonly available from your control panel?  (Login, click your database, click SQL) If so, here's the query to set all users on list 2 to seq 4 delay 0:
Code: [Select]
UPDATE lm_users SET cseq = '4', cdel = '0' WHERE list = '2';
If not, please submit your info and I will take care of the operation and modify your script if you need this on an ongoing basis.
