Autoresponder

This article shows you how to place an email capture tool inside a Chatbot and use this data to build your email list.

This tool is useful for people who have an autoresponder account and are interested in growing their email list.

Preliminary work

Before placing a list building tool inside a Chatbot, you need to complete 2 tasks.

First, create a Message block in your Bot that asks users to submit an email address. For more information, see:

• Adding User Response: Text Input

Second, integrate ConvertoBot with your autoresponder service provider. For more information, see:

• Integrating an Autoresponder

1 Locating autoresponder settings

2. Scroll down to the Email Marketing Service header on the left side of the page.
3. Customize the settings (see below).

The next step is to find the Message block in your Chatbot that collects email addresses from your users. This is a required step (as described above under Preliminary work).

2. Select your autoresponder on the menu.
