SendLetter's workflow lets you start collecting site visitor subscriptions in no time at all! Quick, easy, and open 24 hours.

1. Create your SendLetter Lists in the browser Admin area

SendLetter Lists are used by you to organize Contact Information. If for example you have three lists, you may want two of the Lists to store information gathered from two different sites. You may be using the third List to manually store special Contacts gathered from both Lists or entered manually.

At least one List must be created in the SendLetter Admin before you can begin collecting visitor subscriptions to your Newsletter.

2. Build your SendLetter subscription form in Fusion using the SendLetter component

A SendLetter subscription includes a NetObjects Fusion v4/5 component to assist in the creation of your SendLetter form. Four fields are permitted:

• Email - always required
• First Name
• Last Name
• Other

3. Publish your site and begin collecting visitor subscriptions

Within a short time you should be collecting visitor subscriptions. Site visitors will see your own custom Form success and failure pages on subscription - the involvement of the services.coolmaps.com server is transparent. You can even have them receive a custom AutoReply Email on subscription.

4. Log into your SendLetter Admin and manage visitor details, Templates, Signatures and Lists

With Contact information now stored in your SendLetter database and attached to the List of your choice you can create and store Newsletter Templates and Signatures for use in your Newsletters. You can also manage your Contacts.

5. Send out Newsletters to selected Lists of Site Visitors

Sending out Newsletters to any selected List is as simple as specifying the List and choosing from a few simple options e.g. which Template? which Signature? which greeting to use?

SendLetter allows you to include Contact information in each Newsletter e.g. Dear #Firstname# and always includes an auto-unsubscribe link at the bottom of each mail.

SendLetter previews the Newsletter in the browser and gives you the option to send it first to yourself to double check everything is ready to send!
