Question: What are autoresponders and how do they work?

Answer: Autoresponders are automatically sent emails sent out after a specific action or a specific time or a day. The application allows for unlimited autoresponders that can be set up to send emails after a user signs up to the newsletter and a specified period of time has lapsed.

The application currently works with a delay based on a specific amount of hours after your contact joins your contact list. You can make this into days simply by adding together the hours (24 hours is one day, 72 hours is 3 days and so on).

To set this up, simply click on the Autoresponders tab in the control panel. You will be presented with the option of managing your existing autoresponders as well as creating a new one. Clicking "Create Autoresponder" will prompt you with an easy to follow step-by-step wizard in creating your autoresponder.
