Create an Autoresponder Series in WahmCart

Q: How do I create an Auto responder Series in WahmCart?

A: Creating an Auto Responder Series for a list in WahmCart is basically very easy.  Start by creating a mailing list as you normally would and make sure you include a welcome message as your first message in the series.  This particular message will have a 0 day delay so it will be received immediately after subscribers complete the sign-up process.

The following steps will provide you with the information you need and for example purposes, we will use the name of Linda’s Creations that sends a plain text message to their subscribers one time per week.

1. Login to your account

2. Choose Follow-up –> View Lists. Choose the list you want to add to and click Messages –> Add Message

3. Choose how you want your message to be delivered. (Plain Text or HTML).  Just remember, the default setting in WahmCart is plain text.

4. Enter the message delay setting.  This will be in days, as in the number of days after the subscriber signs up.  This being your first follow-up email, (not counting the welcome message), you will want to set the delay to 7.  This email will then be received by subscribers 7 days after they complete the sign-up process.

5. The buttons you see under the Delay section are for your subject line only. (First Name and Last Name)  If you want these entered in your subject line, click them, otherwise, simply type or copy and paste your email subject into the next section.

6. In the next section, you will see buttons that apply to the message itself.  (First Name, Last Name, URL, Email, Company and date).

7. You may not copy and paste or type your first message into the section that is labeled, body.

8. You may now preview your message by clicking on the preview message button and send, but remember, if you have further changes to make, you may also click on edit message and proceed to edit and finalize your message.

9. To add or save the message to your Autoresponder Series, you simply click save message.

10. If you have additional messages to add to your Auto responder Series, repeat steps above.

Hint: If copying and pasting your email into the body section and you then click any buttons, the information will default to the end of the email.  Make sure you cut and paste any information where you need it, in the email itself.
