Enable Auto Responders on LPQuicksite

Auto responders are simply an automatic email that is generated from your email address to the sender, that provides the sender a message about your status. It could say, “Hi! I’ve received your email and will respond as soon as possible. Thanks!” or “I will be out of the office from May 15 to June 14″ or even “We respond to all emails within 24 hours”, etc. Your possibilities are endless, and it’s a lot of fun to use these auto responders when you’re away! At the very least, it will let your customers know you received their email and not to worry.

How do You Setup Auto Responders on the LPQuicksite Plan?

So the first step to enabling auto responders is to login to manage your LPQuicksite. Visit http://www.YourDomain.com/cpanel to login using the user name and password you were assigned upon sign up.

Once there, you will see 7 or so different email icons. Click on the one that says “Auto Responders”:

Then, click on the button that says “Add Auto-Responder”:

On the next page, you will need to create the actual information that will display on your automatically-sent email response.

  • Character Set: Do not worry about this - simply leave as is
  • Email: Enter the email address you have already created. For example, YourName.
  • From: Choose how you would like your email to display your name or business name.
  • Subject: Choose an appropriate subject for the auto responder, such as “Thanks for emailing” or “YourBusienss.com is on vacation”.
  • Body: Enter the text as you wish it to appear when emailed.

Here is an example of an appropriate auto responder:

Once you are finished, click “Create/Modify” and you’re done! There are also some helpful HTML email tags you can use to personalize your auto responder:

%from% - this will insert the name of the sender into your auto responder

%subject% - inserts the subject line of the sender’s email into your auto responder

%email% - inserts the sender’s email address into your auto responder

So the above template I used will have the greeting of “Hello NAME” as whatever NAME the sender has on their email program. If it was from me, it would say, “Hello Tiara,”.

So that’s it! Another very easy setup from LPQuicksite and a very important tool for business owners or individuals.
