Auto-Responder Setup

 

Step 1. To setup an auto responder, first make sure you have an SMTP server added to your account. (Admin > Plugin > SMTP Maintenance)

Once plugged in you can then test the SMTP to make sure it is working properly by clicking on the ENVELOPE and entering in your email in the dialogue box.

NOTE: The most common error is authentication failed which is typically a credential issue. Please recheck to make sure your credentials are entered correctly.

 

Step 2. Go into the campaign in which you would like to connect this SMTP account to.

Go to CRM > Campaigns > Then click edit on the campaign you wish to set the SMTP account on.

Step 3. Scroll down to the Auto-Responders section and click on the GREEN + button to add an SMTP account.

This will bring you to a dialogue box in which you can choose the SMTP you would like to use as well as the event name, the products, email subject, and which billing cycle you would like it to fire on.
