Frequently asked questions and answers about GetResponse
How can I migrate my existing contact lists to GetResponse?
GetResponse allows you to import contacts from a previous email marketing provider. This does not mean that you can import all your contacts to GetResponse on the first day. In most cases, the import volume is limited. To import a large number of contacts, write an email to support, explain how you collected the contacts and ask them to import the contacts into your account.
How can I use the follow-up autoresponder?
To use the autoresponder function of GetResponse, first create a list and link it to a subscription form. Next, create an autoresponder and link it to a series of emails. Finally, link the autoresponder to the corresponding contacts list. If someone now subscribes to the list, then they will receive all emails from the autoresponder according to the specified interval.
Can I edit the HTML source text in the email builder?
Yes, this is possible. But please note the restrictions that prevent the use of potentially dangerous HTML code in the email. If you try to include an iframe in the email, for example, this will not work due to potential misuse.
What are basic and advanced statistics?
Basic statistics often refer to the performance of an email, for example the open or click rate, sometimes you can also see the clicked links. Advanced statistics often go much deeper and show more of the user's behavior and often information about their device or even interests can be viewed.
