Setting up link to people who sign up via website

[Kimberley]

Help.  Dean has done the full installation for me, but I've got several questions.

When people sign up on my website, they are not automatically being sent the emails I've set up on listmailpro and not showing up on the listmailpro user database.  Do I need to create this link somehow?  If so, how?

Also, there are two places to sign up for different things on my website - a free report and a newsletter - and the follow up emails to each group via listmailpro will be different.  Can I set it up like this so people signing up for the report get onto one list and those signing up for the newsletter get onto another list?

I may set up a second website in the next few months.  Can I use the same listmailpro package on that too or link users from that site to my existing listmailpro or will I have to buy a second copy and set it up again?

If I set up a static web page, does listmailpro have a submit form that I can put on my website that will automatically link to my listmailpro user database?

I'm on a steep learning curve with this and I've tried looking at the help sections and forum questions, but I think a greater level of knowledge than I currently have is assumed.  Is there an 'idiot's guide to listmailpro?'

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Kimberley,

When people sign up on my website, they are not automatically being sent the emails I've set up on listmailpro and not showing up on the listmailpro user database. Do I need to create this link somehow? If so, how?

Check out the ListMail "List Settings" -> "Signup Code" page and this help page on signup forms.

Can I set it up like this so people signing up for the report get onto one list and those signing up for the newsletter get onto another list?

Of course - changing the list the user is subscribed to is as easy as changing the value of the "list" variable.  Example:

Code: [Select]

<form method=post action=http://example.com/mail/signup.php>
<input type=hidden name=list value=1>
Email: <input type=text name=email><br>
<input type=submit name=sup value="Subscribe Me!">
</form>
Changing the "value" of the "list" hidden element from "1" to "2" will mean the subscriber is added to list 2 instead of list 1, and they should receive the "Welcome Email" if configured as well as any followups configured for the list.

I may set up a second website in the next few months. Can I use the same listmailpro package on that too or link users from that site to my existing listmailpro or will I have to buy a second copy and set it up again?

At this time we allow you to install the program on more than one of your own web sites.  Of course, if another company or administrator will be using the program we expect you to refer them to us.  If/when we implement site licensing we will compensate current owners generously with up to 5 licenses. All you would have to do is order an installation service (if you need it).

If I set up a static web page, does listmailpro have a submit form that I can put on my website that will automatically link to my listmailpro user database?

This should be answered above in responses #1 and #2 - let me know if you have further questions.

Is there an 'idiot's guide to listmailpro?'

Unfortunately, no, although I am developing some FAQs that aren't quite ready...  The best way to learn ListMail is currently to use it and ask questions here via the forum.

Please let me know if you have any more questions!
