Automating New Additions to ListMail

[tracy.higgs]

Hello.  I have a landing page which is on a windows based server.  People sign up for my emails through an asp page.  At the moment, this page generates an email to me which contains the information I need to manually insert their name and address into the ListMail database.  

Is there a way to update the ListMail data using an email or through direct insertion into the database so that this currently manual process can be automated?

thanks

Hi Tracy,

The easiest way would be to simply use a ListMail signup form.  Check out the ListMail "List Settings" -> "Signup Code" page for an example.  Further help is here.

Basically you need:

 - The form ACTION pointing to ListMail's signup.php
 - A hidden variable named "list"
 - (Optional) a text field for "fname"
 - A text field named "email"
 - A submit button

Hi Tracey,

Dean is absolutely right on this one. Once you implement a signup form to subscribe users directly into LMP, you will be able to send them an autoresponder thanking them for signing up. Of course, be sure to also include some sort of a marketing message along with that thank you note.

To add the autoresponder, go to:

List Setting >> Welcome & Confirmation >> Edit Message "Send welcome email on signup or when confirmed"

Good luck!
