Creating Messages for the Autoresponder

In an Autoresponder, you can add a maximum of 50 automated messages and send it to subscribers joining your mailing list.

1. Click the Create Message button.
2. Now, add message content such as basic details, layout etc.
3. Once the content is ready, you can send the message for review.
4. After the message has been reviewed, click the Send Settings button. You may choose to send immediately or schedule it later.
5. Click the Start Now button.

Sending Autoresponders to Existing Contacts

Lets take an example; an Autoresponder message is created that will be received by subscribers 4 days after signing up/being added to the mailing list. Now, if a contact is added to that list on August 4th, that subscriber would be receiving the message on August 8th.

But what about contacts which existed on the list prior to the creation of the Autoresponder ? Even if these contacts meet the criteria defined for the Autoresponder, they will never receive the message. You might want to send Autoresponders to pre-existing contacts who were already on the mailing list prior to the creation of Autoresponder.

For such contacts, we have the option of sending Autoresponder messages by clicking the Send to Missed Contacts option. You can find the Send to Missed Contacts option under Settings section of an Autoresponder message.
