Edit Preferences

Once a new autoresponder has been created, you need to click the Edit Preferences on the left panel and then configure further options to fine-tune your autoresponder.

Autoresponder Name will be the same as entered while a new autoresponder was being added. If you need to change this name, you can do so here.

Autoresponder Email will be the same as entered while a new autoresponder was being added. It indicates the email address displayed in the ’From‘ field when an email message is sent out. Its advisable to keep a separate email address here just in case.

Subscription Email It is the email address which E.G.G.S. ™ will check time to time for new subscriptions. E.G.G.S. ™ provides three ways of subscription:

  1-     By submitted your email address through the web page.

2-     Subscribing directly by mailing to this email address with “Subscribe me” (without the quotes) in the Subject Field of the email

3-     By Importing email addresses through the E.G.G.S ™ import prospects feature.

If you need to change this subscription email address, you can do so here.

Please note that this will also affect your auto generated subscription form codes. So after updating the subscription email address, it is advised to update all subscription codes in your web pages. (e.g. subscribe@mywebsite.com)

ReplyTo email refers to the email address that will be receiving any replies from subscribers in a particular autoresponder. (e.g. reply@mywebsite.com)

 

Bad Email refers to the email address that will receive any returned or bounced email sent to subscribers for a particular autoresponder.

(e.g. bad@mywebsite.com)

Admin Email refers to the administrative email address which will be used for error reporting or for subscribers to report any problems encountered while being subscribed to a particular autoresponder.(e.g. admin@mywebsite.com)  

Autoresponder mode refers to the subscription model that will be followed by a particular autoresponder under E.G.G.S. ™

There are two modes:

Single Opt in mode means that a subscriber needs to provide his or her email address only once while subscribing to the autoresponder. The autoresponder will not require double confirmation and the new user will automatically start receiving email messages.

Double Opt in mode means that a subscriber needs to provide his or her email address and a confirmatory email will be sent to that email address. The subscription will only be activated when the user has opened the email from her inbox and has clicked the confirmation link. Only then the user will be subscribed.

Subscription Email POP3 Server is the POP3 mail server that will be used to send and receive all emails while E.G.G.S. ™ is executing automated autoresponder lists.

POP3 Server Port is the port number of the POP3 mail server to be used.

POP3 username is a valid user name on the POP3 mail server to be used by E.G.G.S. ™ to connect and send/receive automated email messages to subscribers of different autoresponders.

POP3 password is the valid password for POP3 username.

Email Format allows you to specify the mail format. Incase you are sending HTML based email messages; you should set this option to HTML to make sure the email message body that is sent out is formatted properly. Otherwise, if you are using plaintext, select Text in the dropdown menu.

Note: Following options are for more experienced users who have used E.G.G.S.™ for some time and have a good idea of fine tuning E.G.G.S.™ to their exact needs.

Enable Word Wrap is used to indicate if the word wrap feature is to be used or not. If the check box is checked, all outgoing emails for that particular autoresponder will be formatted according to the Word Wrap Length setting.

Word Wrap Length is used to adjust the appearance of an email message being sent out. It refers to the allowed number of words that will appear in an email message that is sent out. The E.G.G.S.™ team has found that the optimum setting to keep your email intact in its formatting from your end to the subscriber end, the word wrapping should be set to 50 characters per line. E.G.G.S.™ allows you to set this in the Edit Autoresponder section.

Custom Confirmation Page is a customized page that (if entered here) will act as a ‘Thank you for subscribing’ message and will integrate seamlessly into your website.

Custom Confirmation Page checkbox should be checked if you intend to use your own confirmation page that will enable seamless integration into your website.

Note: If you do not wish to use a customized page, this checkbox should be unchecked to indicate your preference. In this case the default E.G.G.S. ™ confirmation page will be displayed.

Custom Confirmation Page text field should contain the full URL path for the confirmation page that you intend to use. Note that it will not be activated unless you check the checkbox above it.  (e.g. http://www.mywebsite.com/eggs/mycustomconfirmation.htm )
