Ideas for a Mass Email form

I'm looking to add something where people can sign up for a mothly news letter. Something where people sign up, and it automatically complies a list of emails. any ideas? Is this something MailChimp can do?

If you host your site with Business Catalyst (webMarketing plan or above), you can take advantage of the powerful Email Marketing capabilities of the Business Catalyst platform.
You can create a Mailing list at the BC backend and grab the Subscribe Box HTML code that you can insert on a Muse page (or the Master page) through the Object -> Insert HTML option. Users would then be able to subscribe to your mailing list by submitting the form and verifying their subscription. Read more about creating a Mailing List on BC here - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/sbo/create-email-marketing-mailing-list.html
You can code a custom newsletter in BC or choose an existing template then target/filter the mailing list to be sent out the newsletter. Read more about sending email campaigns here - http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/sbo/email-campaigns.html

Simple email form not so simple UGH!!! Could really use some help!

All I need is a simple form for name, email addy and comment. I've been working on this all day/night and am pulling my hair out!!!
Any help is appreciated!!
It is sitting here: http://loonstyn.com/contact-form.html
Here is the code I'm using (both pages):
For the form page:
<HTML>
<HEAD><title>Contact Form</title></HEAD>
<BODY>
<form method="POST" name="contact_form" action="http://www.loonstyn.com/contact-form-handler.php">

Try this contact form. It may give you some ideas for yours. This form is set up to require 3 additional files, a header file, a menu and a footer file. You can pust what ever you want in them. The header and footer are excellent for any repetitive portions that are needed on multiple web pages. Feel free to remove the includes and inject the necessary code to finish the web page.
<?php
$pagetitle='Contact';
include ('header.inc');
print '<h1>Contact</h1>';
include ('menu.inc');
if ($_POST['B1']!=true) {
print <<<FORM
<div class="contact">
<form method="post" action="{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}">

print "<h3>Sorry, but you did not provide enough information, Make sure all sections are filled in<br />Please try again</h3>";
print <<<BACK
<input type="submit" value="Back" onclick = "history.back()">
BACK;
die();
mail ($to, $subject, $message, $header);
print "<h3>" . $name . "<br />" . 'Thank you for contacting example.com' . "</h3>";
print "<p style=\"color: rgb(128,128,255)\"><--- Please use menu to navigate from this page!</p><br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp<br /><br /><br />&nbsp<br />";
include ('footer.inc');
?>
On your form, a word of warning - Never allow input from a user to be used as a value for the mail header. As this allows someone to inject code including javascript into your email. Forcing you to email someone else with spam. It is best to create you fixed value that you know for the mail header and place their input in your message body where it won't hurt anything. And always use htmlentities to strip their inmput from any html tags.
Good luck...

How Do I Insert 2 Email Forms in a Flash Site

Let's say I wanted to have 2 email forms in a flash site. One to go to one inbox and another to go to another inbox. That's easy enough to do by editing the PHP, but not the AS3. The following code works for the first email form, but not the 2nd because of duplicate actions. So my question is, "What do I need to edit in the following AS3 code to get it to submit a second form?" Thanks.

Wouldn't you just change instance names completely?

I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else. I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason. Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message? Any ideas?

Michael,
The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
Cheers,
Owen.

What is the best program language for mass email (PHP, ASP, Coldfusion)?

I want to be able to send mass email (from a SQL db) with
stability and reliability.
I've used Coldfusion for some time (CFmail tag) and have not
been impressed.
It seems, at times, it has a mind of it's own, and is a
little unreliable, especially
when sending hundreds of emails at one shot. I'm not dogg'n
Codfusion,
that's what I program in, I just am looking for a method that
I can build on.
My question is this: What is the best and most reliable
coding when sending mass email?
Is it PHP, ASP, XML, Coldfusion....what?
You would think there has to be an optimum option out
there...right?
Thanks for the knowledge!

I've used CF to send out as many as 50,000+ emails in a
single blast and
haven't ever had any problems with it. Particularly with CF
Enterprise,
CF is an extremely high-performance mail generation engine.
Remeber
that CF itself doesn't send the mail so you're dependent upon
the speed
of your mail server as a large part of the equation as well.

Mass email program for iMac?

I apologize for posting this here. I could not find an appropriate category for this question. If you have a better idea of where I should post this, please let me know.
On my old PC I used Groupmail to send out mass e-mails. Since I've recently switched to an iMac, I want to find a similar mass email program that I can use on my iMac. (There is no Groupmail for Mac.) Any suggestions?

Hi,
I apologize for posting this here. I could not find an appropriate category for this question. If you have a better idea of where I should post this, please let me know.
[Using Mac OS X Leopard|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1225] might be a better place (or [Leopard Mail and Address Book|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223] but those refer to the built-in OS X applications, rather than the email topic in general)
Good luck!

How to - Varibale Data in a PDF for mass email?

I have a question for the Adobe InDesign community...
Is there an easy way to add variable data to an InDesign PDF document for mass emailing?
I am sending out a newsletter to over 500 emails and I'd like to add the client name to the PDF document and have it send to the appropriate email without having to do each one individually. We have Design Merge, however the only way to save out the variable data for the newsletter is to save them as post-scripts and then convert each file into a PDF. However...once all 500 records are made, is there a way to have the appropriate variable documents go to the right emails?
I'm thinking I either need to do each email one at a time (which is time consuming)...or just redesign the newsletter as an html email and use something like Mail Chimp to have it include client names in the email as "IFNames."
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.

I don't understand what you want. Parts of what you want are possible, and it seems you understand how to do it (sort of).

With the Mail Merge function within InDesign, you can take your (let's say four-page) newsletter and add 500 client names and email addresses, but it would result in a 2,000-page InDesign document (with 500 consecutive copies of your newsletter, each with a different name and email address, or what ever other data you need). That document can easily be exported to PDF, and the PDF can easily be broken into 500 four-page PDFs with Acrobat. If the page counts are an issue, you could break your data file into smaller chunks, and do several merges.
PlesePrintJ wrote:
…and have it send to the appropriate email without having to do each one individually.
Here's where I don't understand you. Are you looking to make one email with 500 recipients, and have the appropriate PDF be attached automatically, without you having to choose the appropriate PDF with the cooresponding email? If so, that sounds like an email issue, more than an InDesign one. It may be (and probably is) something that can be automated, but I don't think InDesign is the step that is getting in your way.
PlesePrintJ wrote:

I don't know anything about Design Merge, but Data Merge doesn't require this step. You can export to PDF directly from the InDesign document that is created by the Data Merge process.

Can I create an email form that includes a field for uploading and image?

I'd like to create an email form in Muse that allows people to submit the usual text but also allows them to browse for and upload an image that would be emailed (attached or inline) to me along with the text.
Does anyone know if there's a way to do that directly in Muse?
Thanks.

Which form?
Many of the forms are created with LiveCycle ES so it might be possible to edit the form with Acrobat X Professional. If you have the data in an SQL database, you could possibly create a data connection and import the data into the form and save a copy of the completed form. You can also use the Acrobat JavaScript 'importTextData' to import a row of data from a tab delimited data file.
You might want to talk to other Real Estate professionals to see how they are going do this. If you have a property management program, that program might have an update to perform this task.

Any Idea when Apple will email the redemption code for Mountain Lion?

Mass emailing for a business

I work for a very small publishing company. My boss has given me a list of nearly 3000 emails of people to send our monthly deadline notice to.
I've discovered that our email lets me send an email to only 65 or so addresses at a time. In the past I maybe sent out 300 emails, so it wasn't so bad. Obviously this creates a problem for me now. I don't really know if the problem lies in Mac Mail or our email host either (?).
Are there any free programs out there that will let me send one mass email from our current email address, and possibly manage the email addresses better (ie. delete ones that are no good, let people "unsubscribe")?
This would make my life a lot easier.
Thanks for any help!

I will say this:
Please use BCC in your e-mail composition no matter what program you use. Mass e-mailings which reveal everyone's e-mail address to everyone on the list are insecure, and subject to any one person's virus on any one machine picking it up and distributing it to a spammer thus adding everyone on the list to a spammer. You wouldn't want everyone subscribing to your service to suddenly have a doubling of spam overnight from other entities. They'd close their accounts, and they'd blame you.
Secondly, most e-mail hosts limit the number of e-mails you can send to avoid being accused of allowing spam. A much more proactive way it deal with the situation is to have people only subscribe to it if they want to be on.
Free programs you might find on http://www.sourceforge.net/ where a lot of open source programs are available.

HT2534 i have a half-filled form for my apple id account & in it there is no option as NONE for credit card payment method. Now when i try to create a new account it asks me for a different email/apple id as my actual id already exists???

If you want to use the email address that you used on the first account then you will need to remove it from that first account before you can do so e.g. via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's or via http://appleid.apple.com - you can create a new email address via http://gmail.com or http://hotmail.com to replace it with.

Forms Compiler v/s Forms IDE for 6i

I have a case where if I use the Forms 6i ide to compile my forms when I run the form I have the case when I exit the form something has changed. :system.form_status is actually changed and it wants to save the work. But in reality nothing has changed. If I compile this same form outside the forms 6i ide with the forms compiler I don't see this problem. Any ideas?

Hi
My guess is that, for some reason, the Form Builder IDE is using an object library (or something like that) other than the Form compiler utility is using.
If it's not the case... Well, I always supposed that both ways should generate exactly equal fmxs...

My email forms are not working with one website, but are for my others, all hosted by the same host....

I cannot get my email forms to work for one of my live sites... They work when I published to business catalyst, now they do not. I have contacted the host and they cannot seem to see the issue, as the other sites they host for me, the forms work just fine... Please help, I am about to punch a hole through my computer...
-Travis

Whatever happened, it sounds like you need to reset your phone. As contacts and messages seem to have gone they would be lost anyway unless they were on the SD card and/or backed up using Nokia Suite.
I'd suggest you reset the phone by dialling *#7370# followed by the security code which is 12345 by default (is asked). The phone will reset and you should be able to use it again afterwards.
Let us know what happens..

Send Email Form InfoPath and Vote for outlook 2010

Hi all ,
you know if it is possible to send mail with infopath form (not in attached) by peoplesoft 8.51 and you can change the form with Value peoplesoft. And if it's possbile to send vote outlook by peoplesoft (http://www.technipages.com/outlook-2010-2007-send-a-vote-email.html ) ?
Thanks in advance.

Typically, the form submits to a script that formats the
email and then
sends it. This script could either be on the same page as the
form (in
which case it would only fire if the form has been submitted)
or it can be
on a separate page that is targeted in the action attribute
of the <form>
tag.
In the processing script, you would need to build the
recordset, add the
password from the recordset to the email and then send it.
Does that help?
