Autoresponder

cyberpunk - December 22, 2006 - 14:23

The autoresponder module allow a site visitor to sign up for a series of emails sent each day via a cron job (uses Drupal Cron).

A site visitor wants to sign up for a N-day series of emails. In a block, he enters his email address, select
a preferable set of emails and clicks submit. Any emails in the system set to 'Day 0' are immediately sent. Each day thereafter, a cron job triggers the sending of emails appropriate for that day (the day user is on). If at any point the user wishes to unsubscribe, he can click a simple link at the bottom of the email to do so.

Users with the 'configure autoresponder' permission are able to access an administrative interface, which allows
them to configure the individual emails in the system, create a mail sets, administrate registered users.

Users with the 'autoresponder massmail' permission can send messages to users of specified set/role
The administrator is able to add/edit/delete each of these emails/sets.

New features:

  • Mass-mailing
  • Multiple sets subscribing
  • Customizable block
  • E-mails can be viewed on site
  • Customizable footer

E-mails are sent with both HTML and text encodings.

Now module (Drupal 5.x version) uses mimemail module to send HTML messages. So do not forget to install and enable it before enabling Autoresponder.
