How do I configure the application to have my mailing list work with a web form?

The easiest way is to use the submission script hosted on our web server.


You need to add these hidden input fields to your form HTML code:
  • <input type="hidden" name="submit_from" value="SENDER EMAIL">

    Replace SENDER EMAIL with the email address you want to put into the "From" line of the message containing the submitted data. You may also use this as a regular "text" input field (see the example below).

  • <input type="hidden" name="submit_to" value="MAILING LIST EMAIL">

    Replace MAILING LIST EMAIL with the email address you want the submission results to be sent to.

  • <input type="hidden" name="submit_subject" value="SUBJECT">

    Replace SUBJECT with the subject you want the message to have.

  • <input type="hidden" name="submit_successURL" value="THANK-YOU URL">

    Replace THANK-YOU URL with the address of the Thank You page.

  • <input type="hidden" name="submit_failureURL" value="ERROR URL">

    Replace ERROR URL with the address of the page shown when the web server has configuration problems or when the user enters incorrect security code.


For security reason, the form needs to ask the visitor to type in the letters from the random image. It will do it automatically after the visitor submits the form.

Finally, use the following url as the value of the "action" attribute of the "form" tag:

http://www.followupxpert.com/submit.php

Remember to use the GET method. For example:

<form method="get" action="http://www.followupxpert.com/submit.php">

Example:


<form method="get" action="http://www.followupxpert.com/submit.php">
	<input type="hidden" name="submit_to" value="followupxpert@xtreeme.com">
	<input type="hidden" name="submit_subject" value="Question From Form at http://www.xtreeme.com/support.php">
	<input type="hidden" name="submit_successURL" value="http://www.xtreeme.com/followupxpert/submit_success.php">
	<input type="hidden" name="submit_failureURL" value="http://www.xtreeme.com/followupxpert/submit_failure.php">

	<table border="0" cellpadding="5px">
		<tr>
			<td class="text">Your name:</td>
			<td align="right"><input name="name"></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td class="text">Your email:</td>
			<td align="right"><input name="submit_from"></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td colspan="2"><span class="text">Your question:</span><br>
			<textarea name="question" cols="50" rows="20" wrap="yes"></textarea></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td colspan="2" align="right"><button type="submit">Submit Question</button></td>
		</tr>
	</table>
</form>
