Using Custom Confirmation Pages

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

When someone subscribers or unsubscribes, they are shown a default confirmation page. There are also default error pages if their subscription or unsubscription failed for some reason. Here is an example of one of the default pages. The rest are very similar:

Confirmation pages are used in four situations:

To confirm that a subscription was successful.
To inform your contact that their subscription failed (shown above).
To confirm that unsubscription was successful.
To inform your contact that their unsubscription failed.

All of these default confirmation pages can be replaced by your own pages. These are known as custom confirmation pages. You can have different sets of custom confirmation pages, even for the same autoresponder. This is possible because the URL's of your confirmation pages are part of a tracking tag's settings. You can assign different tracking tags (each with its own set of custom confirmation pages) to each of your subscription forms.

 

Before you add the URL's of your custom confirmation pages to Email Autoresponder, you need to create those pages and upload them to your web server.

To use custom confirmation pages:

1.Create your custom confirmation pages and upload them to your web server.
2.Create a tracking tag for each subscription form that will use a different set of custom confirmation pages.
3.Enter the URL's of your custom confirmation pages in the settings of each tracking tag.
4.In each subscription form, create a hidden field “tracking_tag” with its value set to the correct tracking tag.

 

<input type=“hidden” name=”tracking_tag” value=“POPUP”>

 

When someone subscribes, the confirmation page they see will be taken from the settings of the tracking tags that you assigned to the subscription form.
