admin buyer buyers checkbox checked code contacts create email emails help hidden input integration link links manually message notification option order original page payment refund replace roll sales sells sending service sign steps subscription thank-you-emails type update updates value values view wish words

Where do I access the mailing lists to check the email address of contacts? I want to make sure all emails are in a contact lists for future books?

There is no way to view or edit mailing lists currently. You can only use those from Admin > Send Updates to send out newsletters or updates.

I also have the update mailing lists checked to add buyer to contact list under the Manage Buyers feature.

That checkbox is only applicable to the "free link" you are sending. You can choose to add that person to mailing list. It's not a setting that affects anything else.

Hi Natasha,

just wondering if being able to access your mailing list will be an option on the future, as this is a very important feature, to know who is on your list? If so, any idea of roll out dates?

many thanks
Dez

Hi Dez,

Thanks for asking that question, I'm wondering that myself. I'm very surprised that there isn't a more robust email handling. Love the e-junkie concept, but anyone that sells online knows that the list is Everything!

E-Junkie, can you please address this question? Thanks so much!!

This is definetely something we plan to do. However, I don't have a date.

One crucial feature that needs to be added asap is the ability to remove someone from mailings.

E-junkie is primarily an order-processing service, not a marketing service, so our email functions are primarily related to order fulfillment and product-update notification.

If we supported more promotional-/marketing-related email functions in-house, that would tend to increase the spam score of all emails we send (including notification and thank-you emails), which would only impede our ability to meet the email-related demands inherent to our primary, order-related services (such as the download links we provide in our thank-you emails).

Other email marketing services like Aweber already "do it all" and do it much better than we ever could, so rather than reinvent their particular wheel, we simply provide a means to integrate our service with theirs -- see the Aweber section near the bottom of this help page:

http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/help.integration.php

Following those instructions will submit every new buyer's name and email to Aweber as if the buyer had manually filled out an Aweber email-list subscription form; Aweber will still send them a confirmation asking if they wish to opt-in to receiving that newsletter subscription.

BTW, if you initiate a Refund on somebody's payment, their removal from our buyers list should be automatic; if you need to remove the email of a buyer who has not been granted a refund, please contact us to request their address be removed manually:

Thanks for this. I have followed the aweber integration steps but none of the 3 sales today appear to have been added. Clearly I must have done someting wrong!

when entering the value in to the string &meta_web_form_id=value&meta_split_id=value&unit=value
&meta_adtracking=value&meta_message=value
&meta_forward_vars=value

does value need to appear in quotes as per aweber form or no quotes?

No quotes, but if any of the values from your Aweber form code have spaces, you will need to replace the spaces with either a "+" sign or a "%20" -- e.g. if your Aweber code has a value that looks something like this:

<input type="hidden" name="meta_adtracking" value="Separated words">

...then the URL you create for our Aweber integration would represent that with one of these:

&meta_adtracking=Separated+words
...or...
&meta_adtracking=Separated%20words

Also, if your original Aweber form code has any empty values, just put nothing after the "=" for that value in our Aweber integration URL; just go directly from the "=" to the next "&" to attach the next value. A completed Aweber integration URL would have all those values attached in a line after the initial URL, all in one long string together.
