Inserting a Form in a Mailer

You can insert Web Forms in a Mailer. Using a Web Form, you can receive feedback from the recipients of a Mailer. You can also provide a Web Form through which the recipients can submit their inquiries online. When a Contact fills a web form and clicks Submit, details of the Contact are updated in the Main database.

Example  

You want to launch a Campaign to introduce your products in San Diego. The Campaign is designed to enable Targets to place orders online to try a sample of the product. You must insert an Online Ordering form in the Mailer.

The User can insert a Form in a Mailer by:

•   Using the Open option from the File menu in the Mailer window.

- OR -

Copying an external Form and pasting it in the Message area of the Mailer window. A sample Mailer Web Form is available in the path Samples\Web\MailerForm.

When a Contact submits a Web Form, Contact.asp creates an email message using the information in the Web Form. This message is sent to the relevant Alias, the relevant Contact Properties are updated, and an Interaction is created.

The code available in Contact.asp, is developed for IIS 6.0/IIS 7.0 using Active Server Pages. The code uses the AspEmail component to send mail which can be substituted with any other component that offers the Send Mail feature.
