Hi everyone,

Just started using this module yesterday - fantastic module! This could definatley become a complete marketing campaign manager if developed properly. I have two feature requests for this module - one which I've done (but don't know how to create patches) and the other not sure where to start:

1. Put new subscription code in function autoresponder_add_new_subscription($email, $set) - The logic for adding a new subscription for a user needs to be in a seperate function as oppsosed to only being in the autoresponder_email_enter_form_submit($form, &$form_state) function. Reason being - I am using the webforms module to create a custom form that collects name and organisation and want to create the new subscription so the sign-up gets a series of emails programatically. With the current function - there is a drupal_goto() call at the end - which stops the webform from working. By puting this in a seperate function, anyone can programatically add new user subscriptions from other modules/forms.

2. Token support - I saw another request for this and concur. We really need to be able to insert profile data (like first name/last name) into emails so we can send "personal" emails to users.

This module will be perfect for marketing sites that use Google Ad-words marketing campaigns to get emails and then automatically send a series of emails like we're doing, so if I can help in any way in getting this module to scratch let me know.

Thanks,

David

Anything happen with this. Yes token support would be awesome.
this is a great module and I agree it could really be useful with a few more features.
