An autoresponder is used to automatically schedule future emails to be sent to any number of email addresses. For example you can setup a follow-up email series after a subscriber is added to send an automatically email after two days and then one month later. Once you set this up once, you do not have to do anything and the system will automatically send these emails.

When you create a new autoresponder you will fill out the following fields:

Field	Description
Auto-Responder Name:	This name is used throughout the software to reference your autoresponder.
Send To:	Here you select which users you wish to receive the email. You can send to subscribers, un-subscribers, or all users. It is recommended only to send to subscribers.
Format:	You can also choose whether the email is sent HTML subscribers, Text Subscribers or All subscribers.
Email List:	Select which of your email lists will receive the autoresponder.
Email Subject:	This is the subject of the email that the subscriber is going to receive when they get your autoresponder email.
From Name:	This is optional and used if you want a name to appear next to the email address when the person receives your email.
From:	When the subscriber receives your autoresponder email, the from email will be shown here.
Reply-To:	This is the reply-to email shown in your autoresponder email.
Return-Path:	This is the Return-Path shown in your autoresponder email.
This autoresponder should be sent:	The autoresponder will be sent to your subscribers after a certain amount of hours, days or months after they subscribe. If you choose the option to send to users on their birthday you must do the following: -Go to Create Email List section and click on "Add New Field" When you add a new field, for the "TYPE:" field, there is a birthday option. Select this option and create a Birthday type field. When you go into the user record, there is now an option to add a birthday for the subscriber. The autoresponder that you setup will be sent on the user's birthday.
Text Email Body:	If the subscriber has only a text email program, then whatever text you enter in this field will be sent to the subscriber. This field should always be filled out in case you email subscribers that do not have an email program that can read HTML emails, then they will see the text that you enter in this field.
HTML Email Options:	If you want to send an HTML email to your subscribers then you should either select one of the built-in templates or you can specify a URL in the field: "Location of HTML I want to send:" However you cannot select a template and enter a link in the "Location of HTML I want to send". You have to use one of the methods, but not both. Also, if your HTML email has pictures, make sure the HTML code refers to the image you use with the absolute path. For example use: http://www.yourdomain.com/image.jpg and not just image.job put the whole link to the image.

Apply this autoresponder to all current subscribers in my database:	If this option is checked, then this autoresponder will be made available to all your subscribers. Therefore, if you have setup an autoresponder to be sent in 2 days, and you have checked this option, then the current subscribers will be sent the new autoresponder in 2 days.
PERSONALIZE YOUR AUTORESPONDER:	You can also personalize your autoresponder with variables shown at the bottom of the autoresponder page. For example, in your email, if you put Hi %Email_%, Then when the subscriber receives your email it will say for example: Hi test@test.com It will print the actual email address of the recipient.
