Managing Follow-Up Messages

Top  Previous  Next

To add a new message click the button labeled “Add”. This brings up the “Follow-Up Message” window. Type the name of the follow-up message (the name is for your reference only) in the “Name” text box. Then use the “Time interval” text box and the drop-down list to enter the time that must elapse between this and the previous follow-up message. Finally, click “Message” to edit the follow-up message.

 

To delete a message, select it using the left mouse button, and click “Delete”. You can also modify the selected message by clicking “Edit” to bring up the “Follow-Up Message” window.

 

Follow-Up Message 1

 

Use the “Follow-up name” text box to enter the name for this message. This name is only used by the list on the “Follow-Up Messages” tab; it is never shown to the recipients. It is a good idea to give each follow-up a meaningful name so you can tell at the first glance what they are.

 

Use the text box and the drop-down list labeled “Time interval” to enter the time the program will wait before sending this message. This interval is the time since the previous follow-up message was sent to a subscriber or, if no messages were sent yet, the time the subscriber was added to the mailing list.

 

To edit the follow-up message itself click the “Message” button. This brings up the message editor. To find out more about editing messages, read the Composing Mail Messages chapter.

 

Follow-up messages are sent in the order they are listed on the “Follow-Up Messages” tab. To change the order, select one or more messages, and use the “Move Up” and “Move Down” button.
