Creating Forms and Links for Subscribing and Unsubscribing

Ready to Creating Forms and Links

  1. Create two mailboxes for receive subscribe and unsubscribe requests, for example subscribe@example.com and unsubscribe@example.com;
  2. Click Mailing Accounts at the left pane, create two mailing accounts that referring the above mailboxes;
  3. Click Subscriber Service at the left pane, create a subscriber processor that referring the above mailing accounts. You may specify subscribe@example.com for subscription requests and enter "subscribe" as the subject keyword; specify unsubscribe@example.com for unsubscription requests and enter "unsubscribe" as the subject keyword. The subject keywords help filtering invalid requests.

Creating and Releasing Subscribe Form

  1. Click Subscriber Service at the left pane and select the processor, double click it or click the Property button and click Web Form to open the form manager;
  2. Click the button Add Field to append list attribute or group boxes to the form;
  3. Click the button Preview to check the form appearance;
  4. Click the button Folder and upload all scripts to your website root folder "nesox". You may also run install.vbs on your server to specify the website to integrate;
  5. Open web browser, enter "http://www.yourwebsite.com/nesox/form.htm" to the address bar to test the web form. If the static web form works, email requests will be created and sent to your mailbox by the client email program for subscribing or unsubscribing;
  6. If your website supports dynamic scripting ASP or PHP, it is recommended that you use the enhanced form via http://www.yourwebsite.com/nesox/form.asp.htm or http://www.yourwebsite.com/nesox/form.php.htm. Email requests are created and sent by the scripts directly and it is possible to change the settings via  http://www.yourwebsite.com/nesox/preferences.ini instead of uploading the scripts again.

Creating and Inserting Links

  1. Click Subscriber Service at the left pane and select the processor, double click it or click the Property button and click Message to open the link manager;
  2. Customize the Text or HTML if it is required;
  3. To insert the unsubscribe link to your message, please open the project and click the Message tab, right-click or click the main menu Insert and select Unsubscription Text and Link.

Processing the Requests

  1. At Subscriber Service, click the button Receive All scan and process the requests;
  2. Or, at the Service Status, keep the Subscriber Service active. Requests will be handled every 5 minutes;
  3. Contacts will be added or removed from your mailing list database.
  4. Ensure the mailing account is not setup at your Outlook or Outlook Express program. The email client program will receive/download all of the email requests and cause Email Marketer cannot find any email at you mailbox.
Note that you can place a shortcut to the Email Marketer Monitor in your Startup Items folder and start the Service automatically, should you need to shut down or restart your computer. We recommend doing this if you have a cyclic schedule.
