Parse an affiliate ID to a subscription form

This feature works with version 4.11+

Most of the autoresponders allow you to include hidden custom fields in a subscription form - it could be the form of your newsletter, or of a list for a specific product.

You can include a small piece of javascript in your existing subscription forms and JVManager will parse (get the corresponding variable from the URL and insert) the affiliate ID to that extra field.

Then you can include the extra field where you want in your follow up messages and it will be replaced by the corresponding value given by each subscription for the corresponding customer.

The code you need to insert in your subscription form is the following:

<SCRIPT>
       InsertHiddenAffID('EXTRA_NAME','aff_id', N);
</SCRIPT>

Where as:

  • EXTRA_NAME is the title of the extra field.
  • aff_id is the variable you want to parse. No need to change that.
  • N is the default ID that will be used if no affiliate link has been used.

Example:

Suppose someone reaches the homepage of TurboMembership.com through this link:

http://www.turbomembership.com/index.shtml?aff_id=3

And suppose that you use Aweber and you have defined custom extra1 as the extra field.

Here is what willl happen: JVManager will stamp the subscription form with the affiliate ID: 3 and this number (3) will replace {!custom extra1} where ever you will insert this tag inside your follow up messages.

Here is another example:

Suppose someone reaches the homepage of TurboMembership.com through this link:

http://www.turbomembership.com/index.shtml

As you can see no affiliate ID has been used.

And suppose you have inserted this code in your subscription form:

<SCRIPT>
       InsertHiddenAffID('extra1','aff_id', 5460);
</SCRIPT>

Here is what willl happen: JVManager will stamp the subscription form with the affiliate ID: 5460 - the one used as DEFAULT in that js code, since no affiliate ID has been used, and this number (5460) will replace %extra1% where ever you will insert this tag inside your follow up messages.

You need to check the manual of your autoresponder and see the type of extra fields allowed.

For Aweber:

  • Use this format inside the js code: custom extra1, custom extra2, etc.
  • Use this format inside your follow up messages: {!custom extra1} , {!custom extra2}, etc.

For TurboResponders.com, Parabots.com, etc.:

  • Use this format inside the js code: EXTRA1, EXTRA2, etc.
  • Use this format inside your follow up messages: %%EXTRA1%%, %%EXTRA2%%, etc.

For Autoresponse Plus:

  • Use this format inside the js code: CUSTOM_extra1, CUSTOM_extra2, etc.
  • Use this format inside your follow up messages: {CUSTOM_extra1}, {CUSTOM_extra2}, etc.

This is a POWERFUL feature.
Make the best of it.
