Send autoresponse message with unique userid & password

Mike · Guest

I see a sample product key text file in your install directory. Can you explain how I could send an autoresponse message with a unique userid and password for ebooks that I sell that need to be registered to work?

The sample-productkeys.txt file is a tab delimited file with serial number, password and email address fields. You can create a extrator to pull this information from the text file and use it in the boby of your auto reply message.

You can use the sample "Order Processing" autoresponder along with the sample-productkeys.txt as a guide learn how to create the auto response message for your ebook buyers.

Here is how you do it.

First create a text file with the variable information.
Enter the userid and matching password and use a comma to separate them for example: JSmith123,PwQB1Je
Add as many user id and password pairs as needed.
Create a new AutoReply Responder
On the 'Extractors' tab, select New / Extract Data from a Text File.
On the Extractor tab add a new 'Extract data from a text file' item.
Enter RegKey in the field name.
Enter the location of the reference file in the 'Text File Location' box.
Select 'Comma delimited' for the 'File Format'.
Click the Refresh button and put a check mark beside RegKey_Column_1 and RegKey_Column_2.
On the 'Actions' tab, select New / Send a new Email.
In the message body enter [[RegKey_Column_1]] at the point where you want the userid.
In the message body enter [[RegKey_Column_2]] at the point where you want the password.
Send a test email that meets the Filter condition for this Responder.
Click Receive/Send and check the output email.

This technique can be used to setup an auto responder to send product registration keys to your PayPal or eBay buyers. You will need to setup the filter to locate the email with 'Notification of Payment Received from' in the subject line.
