Setting up Universal Autoresponders

Although MailChimp is one of the most popular autoresponders, there are dozens of other popular options you can go for. So, if you’re not using MailChimp, don’t worry.

You can still connect any 3rd party autoresponder to Coming Soon & Maintenance Mode. This includes other autoresponders, webinars, CRMs, etc.

Set up a 3rd party autoresponder:

Go to Settings -> Coming Soon PRO -> Autoresponders & Mailing Services
Choose “Universal Autoresponder” option from the drop-down menu
Log in to your 3rd party service of choice, find the HTML form and copy the entire code
Get back to the plugin’s settings and paste the code into “AutoConfigure Autoresponder” field
Click “Populate fields with detected values”
Check all the fields and make modifications if needed
Save changes

Form Action URL

Complete action URL, including the http or https prefix. If your HTML form is OK, it should be populated automatically.

Form Method

If the form is not working try switching from POST to GET and vice versa. Usually, the Form Method will be visible from the HTML form your copy, and if everything’s ok, will be automatically populated once you click “Populate fields with detected values” button.

Email Field Name

Name of the form field that contains the email address. In most cases, it’s “email”.

Name Field Name

Name of the form field that contains the user’s name. In most cases, it’s “name” or “fname”.

Extra Data

Additional, fixed form data to send; ie the form ID. Please write it in URL format: field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3.

Enable Debugging

If you’re having issues with emailing systems enable debugging, open the coming soon page and test the form with some sample emails. Detailed debug information will be shown on the page.
