The Email Autoresponder may be considered either an extension of the normal marketing campaigns or a replacement. It ties into the normal marketing campaigns by using the Email Lists described earlier. However, an Autoresponder differs from a simple Marketing Campaign with its ability to have multiple emails programmatically delivered to a customer by providing the following feature list.
Features
- Complex Execution Paths – A single campaign can contain multiple steps using complex logic allowing for automatic reactions to customer actions. Logic steps supply velocity code to dynamically determine the next steps in a campaign, while custom pause steps delay for varying time periods. The following figure gives a small sample of the power available to an Autoresponder Campaign.
- Parameterized, Reusable Email Templates – Define an email template once and reuse numerous times within multiple campaigns by change parameters as needed.
- Emails are sent from you through your mail server.
- Email Autoresponder automatically checks your POP3 box for bounces and flags email recipients accordingly.
- In addition to email lists and manual enrollment, customers may be enrolled in campaigns automatically based on these events.
