Mautic - How to create a really simple autoresponder sequence

Hoorah! I have an autoresponder sequence from Mautic!

Would you like a free autoresponder sequence?

Read this stuff, spend about 15 minutes following the instructions and you'll have it sorted.

What we're going to do....

We're going to put in an optin form here so that when optin, it redirects to second page, and also sends series of emails

This is how we do it...

Step 1.
Visit https://mautic.net/, create account. Don't use yahoo, better to use GMail account.

Step 2.
Visit https://robstestinglab.mautic.net/, login

Step 3.
Create emails
Channels -> Emails, +New, New Template email (ie autorespond email)
Theme: Blank
Internal Name: Welcome 01
Content: Subject: Howdy, {contactfield=firstname}
Why hello there {contactfield=firstname}
It is indeed a pleasure to meet you.
{unsubscribe_text} | {webview_text}
Note: To insert any contact field, just type in {leadfield and the rest will start auto-filling.
Apply, Save and Close

Now do a second one called Welcome 02, similar pattern.

Step 4.
Create forms
Components->Forms, new form
New Campaign form -> Select:

Details...
-Name: Robs Lab Optin
-Successful Submit Action - Redirect URL - https://www.google.co.nz
-Kiosk mode no, render style yes

Fields...
Text ->
-General: Label: Name, show label yes, save result yes
-Contact field: Matching contact field: Core First Name
-Validation required yes
-Behavior: Show when value exists yes, autofill data no
-add

Email ->
-General: Label: Email, show label yes, save result yes
-Contact field: Matching contact field: Core Email
-Validation required yes
-add

Actions...
Add a submit action
- Send email to user
--Name: 1st email
--Email to send: Welcome 01

Apply, save and close

Step 5.
Put the form into landing page
Components -> Forms, click Robs Lab Optin
Form HTML (blue/green box on right)
Automatic
Copy js and paste into HTML of page

Step 6.
Create the campaign
Campaign -> +new
Name: Campaign 01
Campaign builder
-> Contact sources
  -> Campaign forms
   -> Campaign form: Robs Lab Optin, add
Click on bottom bulb thing -> Action select -> send email
Send email, name: email 01, immediately, email to send: Welcome01, transactional, add.
Click on same bottom bulb thing -> Action select -> send email
Send email, name: email 02, 10min later, email to send: Welcome02, transactional, add.

Close builder
Published - yes
apply, save and close

Drawbacks

Unfortunately this initiates only when people enter for the first time, so if you want to re-test, you keep having to go back to the contacts page and re-delete your name out.

Finished!

Now that you've made a really basic one, you might want to set up a more complicated one. (eg a welcome sequence for new subscribers).

Dean Jackson is really good, and so are Digital Marketer, Lead Pages and Video Fruit.

Cheers!
