About MailerMailer.com
MailerMailer.com is an email list manager and list hosting system where you
can maintain your private mailing list. You must sign up on MailerMailer.com
for this module to function. Please visit this site to become educated on
all of the options available to you. The NetPush MailerMailer module works
in a Miva Merchant store and will interface MailerMailer.com by posting new
email addresses as people sign up or place an order without account in your
store.

Configuration
| Module is: | This is the master switch for the module. The module is either On or Off. |
| CheckBox Status: | You may select the
default status of the CheckBox that
the user will see when they either
sign up or place an order without
account. 1. Not Checked (default) - The "Join Our Mailing List" is not checked 2. Checked - The "Join Our Mailing List" is checked 3. Always Add - The customer data is always added to MailerMailer |
| Data Source: | You may select which
data (Shipping or Billing) that is
sent to MailerMailer. 1. Bill (default) - Use Customer Bill data for MailerMailer 2. Ship - Use Customer Ship data for MailerMailer |
| Encoding: | When the module communicates
with MailerMailer thru your server,
encoding may be required. This option
allows you to select the correct encoding
(if any). You will need to perform
tests (customer signup or place an
order without account) on your Miva
site and see if the email data "looks"
correct in MailerMailer. If the data
contains encoding characters, change
the encoding and try it again. 1. None (default) - No encoding for MailerMailer 2. Attr - Attribute encoding for MailerMailer 3. Entity - Entity encoding for MailerMailer |
| Email type: | Select the type of
email the user will start with. 1. Text (default) - User will receive text emails 2. Html - User will receive Html emails |
| MailerMailer URL: | Enter the URL to MailerMailer.com for email POSTs. The module will default to http://www.mailermailer.com/x. |
| MailerMailer key: | Enter your MailerMailer
encrypted key. This is your identification
key that is used when the module POSTs
to MailerMailer. To obtain your key: 1. Go to MailerMailer.com 2. Login using your username and password 3. Click on "Setup" 4. Click on "Create Signup Form for Your Site" 5. Scroll down to the "Cut and Paste HTML to your site" 6. Locate the hidden variable "owner_id_enc" 7. Copy the VALUE (only copy the text between the double quotes) 8. Sample line: NAME="owner_id_enc" VALUE="17273,$1$zHmn7$9aLdQ3nZbE/4WAS0deh/B0" 9. Sample Copy: 17273,$1$zHmn7$9aLdQ3nZbE/4WAS0deh/B0 10. Paste this key into the MailerMailer key field in the module |
| Signup Text: | The text of the CheckBox
that the user will click to be added
to the list |
| User Attribute #1 to #7: | Enter any required "answers" to any questions you have set up in MailerMailer. Attribute #1 in the module relates to Question #1 in MailerMailer. If you have marked a question as required, you must fill in an answer in the module. Otherwise MailerMailer will reject the email addition. If your question is set up as optional and you do not supply an answer, the email will still be added to MailerMailer. The purpose of this is so you can mark the email records as to where they came from. The user is never asked any questions and the signup process is painless, but the Miva admin still controls the procedure. |
| User Comment #1 to #3: | Enter any required "answers" to any text questions you have set up in MailerMailer. User Comment #1 in the module relates to text Question #1 in MailerMailer. The same Attribute rules apply here. See User Attributes. |
| Load All Customers: | This function will load your customer master email addresses into MailerMailer.com in small blocks. As each block is sent, an email will go out to each of your customers who are not already in the list allowing them to opt-in or opt-out. Please be aware that the upload to your mailer account is governed by the rules of MailerMailer.com. The customers you are uploading MUST be your customers. No third party or purchased lists are allowed. To start the upload process, click StartLoad. To exit, click Back (located above and to the right). |
| StartLoad: | This will start the upload function to MailerMailer.com. The module will upload in very small blocks. The reason for small block size (and not an automated process) is load balancing on your server and the MailerMailer server. A confirmation email will go out to every customer (who is not already in your list) allowing them to opt-in or opt-out. |
| LoadNextBlock: | You must continue to process each block of customers as the module moves thru the customer master. Click on LoadNextBlock to load the next block. This function will give you a status of how many records have been loaded. |
