The messages section provides to means to setup custom messages for the following:

1-     Welcome Message

2-     Welcome Confirmation Message

3-     Removal Message

4-     Removal Confirmation Message

5-     Removal HTML Message

6-     Removal Text Message  

1-     Welcome Message

The Welcome message portion allows you to put in a message you want your new subscribers to see. This section requires you to fill in an introductory subject and email body respectively.

You may want to introduce your website, the kind of services that are available, products, special offers, unsubscribe method, even reference to other opt in lists on your site. All this can be done in the welcome message. Make your new subscriber feel intrigued and interested with the kind of services you provide and give a brief of what kind of messages he or she will be getting with the subscription.

2-     Welcome Confirmation Message

This is a welcome and confirmation message combined. It is used for double opt in mode of any Autoresponder. It is used to send out the confirmation link that the new subscriber must click in order to fully subscribe to the autoreponder list.

3-     Removal Message

Another very important message that you would like to customize is the subscription removal message. Make sure to convey the right message. Hopefully, your subscribers wouldn’t be unsubscribing as you would have more time in developing an interesting mix of offers and articles in your automated follow up messages to keep them locked in. But a time comes when your subscribers may want to get off your list. Make sure they leave happy and content. They may come back again seeing your hospitality. Better yet, they may change their mind and re-subscribe. 

A few things you must keep in mind. Your subscriber is unsubscribing because he may not be interested in the offers you bring to him. One of the major concerns of subscribers is that they get off the list as soon as they unsubscribe and get no more emails from you again. Unlike most mailing lists, your E.G.G.S.™ powered automated mailing list unsubscribes on the fly as well. As soon as your subscriber requests unsubscription, their email address gets removed from your E.G.G.S.™ database and a confirmation mail is sent. This is the unsubscription message you can customize here. Assure him or her that there will be no more messages sent from you to the now ex-subscriber. Assure of your privacy policy if required and drop a URL or two to your subscription lists incase they change their mind.

4-     Removal Confirmation Message

This is again used for the double opt in mode autoresopnders. It is used to send out a confirmation message to subscribers wishing to unsubscribe.

5-     Removal HTML Message

Here you can specify text or HTML that will be used as text for the removal message. For example:

Click here to get removed from the list.

The above text will appear as a link. If the link is clicked, the subscriber will be removed from the list.

6-     Removal Text

Alternatively if you are using plain text mails, then you can specify the text that should appear just above the removal URL that is displayed in plain text format. For example: you can use the following text:  

Go to the link below to unsubscribe from our mailing list:

It will be displayed at the end of your plain text mail as follows:  

     Go to the link below to unsubscribe from our mailing list:

            http://www.mywebsite.com/eggs/unsubscribeme.php

1.    Administrative Email Messages

Whenever the scheduled Cron job runs and sends out automated emails to your subscribers in all auto responders, for each successful attempt, E.G.G.S™ generates a message that is sent to the administrator. Failure in sending any message is also indicated and may be accompanied by some script error at times. This simply means that either the email recipient mail server couldn’t be contacted by E.G.G.S.™ or it is not a valid email address. If you encounter similar errors in reference to the same email address, you may delete the subscriber using the error message information: the autoresponder name and the subscriber’s email address.
