If you're not following up with your customers then you're losing money! All of your messages are sent out to your subscribers on the day you say, so you don't need to remember anything. Whether you want to start a mailing list for fun, or really want to boost sales, then the AutoResponder 1.0 is for you.

How It Works:

• Place one line of code that will display the subscription box on your web site.
• A visitor to your site enters their name and e-mail address and subscribes (opts in).
• A confirmation e-mail is sent and the subscriber clicks on it to verify. They are now double opted-in.
• From that day on, any messages under that subscription schedule will be sent to that person on the day you specified. For example, on Day 1 they get message #1. On Day 6, message #2 is sent, etc...

Features:

• Have unlimited autoresponder messages
• Have unlimited autoresponder schedules, that you can use for multiple businesses or web sites
• Double opt-in feature to virtually eliminate bogus subscribers
• Automatically have your subscriber's name or e-mail appear in any message
• Manually add or remove subscribers
• One line of code on your page will automatically display the subscription box
• Dynamically specify color of subscription box
• Easy password protected web administration section

To display the subscription box on any of your pages, just use:

<SCRIPT SRC="http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/arespond.cgi?schedule=filename&background=CCCCCC"></SCRIPT>

Example Subscription Box:



Just replace filename with the actual schedule filename you want to use for this particular subscription. You would set up the schedule in the administration section.

You can also specify a background color using the background variable.

Administration:

To add or edit any aspect of your autoresponders, including viewing and editing your subscribers of any schedule, just point your browser to:

http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/arespond.cgi?area=login

Processing Schedules:

You should run AutoResponder 1.0 every day at the same time to make sure your messages are sent out on the correct days.

There are two ways to process your schedules. You can do it when you login to the administration section, or you can do it from the command line (telnet, ssh, cron).

To process a schedule from the command line, or want to execute it using cron (UNIX), use the command syntax below:

arespond.cgi username password schedule

Just enter your actual username and password, and the schedule name you want to process.

NOTE: cron or crontab is a feature on UNIX systems that will automatically run your scripts at certain dates and times you specify. This is the recommended method of processing your schedules since it's automatic. If you are unsure how to use it, contact your web hosting company.

Both the username and password are admin

You can bet I'll be recommending CGIconnection to everyone on my list as well as all my personal friends who use scripts of any kind.
