The Autoresponder is a professional (premium) extension for The Newsletter Plugin for WordPress. It is designed to move beyond a single “Welcome” email by creating automated, time-delayed sequences of messages.

-

Technical Specifications

| Targeting | Linked to specific Newsletter Lists; only subscribers in that list enter the series. |
| Tracking | Detailed statistics per message (opens, clicks) and per series. |
| Subscriber Control | View exactly where a specific subscriber is in the series; manually move them forward or restart them. |
