3rd Party AutoResponder Integration Setup

__Third_Party_Option__
This option allows you to automatically subscribe all your new members who register at your __SITE_NAME__ site to your 3rd party autoresponder list at Aweber.com and Getresponse.com. We understand you may not want to use the built in __SITE_NAME__ in house mail manager system and instead let a 3rd party manage your mailing lists. If you’d like to use everything in house, there is no need to set this up. If you have any questions related to using your AR accounts, please contact their help desks at http://www.aweber.com/support.htm or http://www.getresponse.com/support.html respectively.

Step 2: Go to the SUBSCRIBERS link in the menu bar and you will see a drop down menu open. Then go to the 'Build Subscribers List' option and then go to the 'Add Subscribers' option corresponding to it.

Step 3: After clicking on the 'Add Subscribers' option, a form opens to make a new subscriber. Make your entries in it and follow all the steps.

Step 4: After making a new subscriber, go again to the 'Build Subscribers List' option under the SUBSCRIBERS link in the menu bar and then go to the 'Capture Subscribers' option corresponding to it.

Step 5: After clicking on the 'Capture Subscribers' option, you will get three options named "HTML Form, Create a new Pop-Up and Manage my existing Pop-Ups". Check the HTML Form option and click on the button that says "START CAPTURING".

Step 6: After submitting their data, your subscribers will be taken to the confirmation page you enter here (In Confirmation URL field). By not entering a URL here, your subscriber will be taken to a default confirmation page, provided by GetResponse.

Step 7: The next feature/field (Tracking Code(REF)) enables you to track where your subscribers' inquiries came from. So, for example, if you have several web sites, each with a different web form or pop-up, you will be able to easily check which site is generating the most subscriptions. The tracking statistics will be displayed on >> Subscribers >> My Subscribers >> Tracking.

You can also use your REF numbers for browsing your Active and All Subscribers lists.

Step 9: Once the above options have been set, click "Next Step" to move to another page where you will find the generated HTML code. A single click on the "Select All" button will highlight the whole code, ready for you to copy and paste into your web site. Note: DO NOT put this web form on your __SITE_NAME__ site. You only need to fill in the fields correctly on your __SITE_NAME__ AR configuration below.
