You are just a few clicks away from having your email marketing business fully automated and your subscribers instantly provided with comprehensive information on your products and services. Let's take a look at the Autoresponder Wizard steps.

STEP 1    Choose Campaign

The first Wizard's site contains your campaigns list. Please choose a campaign which you wish to set the autoresponder for. Simply click the chosen campaign name and you will be automatically taken to the next step.

STEP 2     Select Action

At this point you can choose either to create your campaign's messages yourself or to preload them from another GetResponse account or campaign.

• Create Messages - once you click this option you will be taken to the next step where you choose your message type, and create your new message.
  
  
• Preload Messages - once you click this option you will be taken to another page, where you specify the messages' source.
  
  
• Manage Messages - once you click this option you will be taken to the Wizard's last step, where you will find the list of existing messages.
  
  

STEP 3     Message Type

If you decided to create your messages you will be asked to choose your message type. It can be either plain text, HTML, or a template. To choose a template click the box next to the "I want to choose message template" words.

You can choose from a number of template categories or order your own customized template. Simply click the category you are interested in, and then the template preview you like most.

Next, depending on what message type you choose, you will be taken to the message editor where you either create your own message or edit the chosen template.

STEP 4    Create Message

GetResponse provides flexible and easy-to-use tools for creating messages. All of the necessary message options and actions can be found on this page.

Subject

This is where you need to enter the subject of your message.

Interval

It is the number of days that have to pass from the subscriber's sign-up day for the message to be sent.

Message Format

In order to choose your message format you need to click on "Plain Text" or "HTML Body" above the message body box.

GetResponse has created a tool that will open a brand new world of possibilities – a world without message format limitations. You not only have the ability to choose to send Plain Text or HTML messages, you can now easily generate both message formats. Thanks to this, you no longer need to worry about your subscribers not being able to see your message only because their email client is not able to read its format.

Recommended Message Format Please note that Plain Text is the format GetResponse recommends. This is due to email marketing good practices and the fact that using this format significantly increases email deliverability.

• Plain Text
• HTML

Message Body

This is where you enter the content of the message. The way you create the body of your message is strongly related to the message format you chose.

Message Preview

In order to preview your message you need to click on "Message Preview" above the message body box.

GetResponse allows you to test and preview your messages during the creation process -- even while you are still working on them, and have not saved your changes. Instantly preview your message format, test its layout and deliverability. This will help you implement necessary changes and significantly increase your marketing results.

Message Actions

Message Actions can be found underneath the message body box.

• Spell Check
• Spam Check
• Save as Draft
• Wrap Long Lines

Message Options

Message Options can be found underneath the message body box.

• Track Click-Throughs

Attachments

To attach a file to your message, please follow these steps:

• select the message where you wish to have the file attached
• click on "Add/remove attachments" and a new window will pop-up
• click on "Browse" in order to find the file
• click on "Attach file"
• click on "Done"

Please note that the file size can't be larger then 400 KB

• Why is attachment size limited?

STEP 5     Manage Messages

As you have already created your first message you can now decide if you wish to continue completing a whole set of follow-ups or save the one you have already prepared, and create more messages later on. Please note that you can always edit your follow-up sets, and easily add new messages by going to >> Campaigns >> My Campaigns >> choosing a proper campaign from the list >> clicking "Manage follow-up messages".

The page you will be taken to contains practical message options such as: edit, test, enable/disable and delete, as well as the "Create New Message" link.
