To setup email autoresponders, you must first start with creating a template...
Navigate to CRM menu: CRM > Email Autoresponders > Templates
Click on "+ Add New" and select the template type.
Enter in the remaining text input fields.
There will be a general default template email body already available for you to use. Replace the text within the brackets with your own information.
If you do not wish to use the default email body, you can erase and create your own.
Click on the “View Tokens” button to show the available tokens that can be used to create your email body. (Tokens are data variables that contain information regarding your transactions).
List of available tokens:
{$firstname} - First name
{$lastname} – Last name
{$phone} – Phone number

Note: How do I just send one email order confirmation for multiple products?
A: Within your email autoresponder template body, you must use the {$productlist} token, and when adding the upsell transaction through the API, you must send the same OrderID created when creating a signup transaction. The OrderID is not the same as the CustomerID. Refer to the API Guide on adding an upsell transaction.
