Question   Why are my contacts going into the inactive folder and is it possible to stop this?

A.

Inactive contacts are hidden from view unless an members selects inactive contacts from the contact group from the drop down.  This is done to protect the contact while retaining their information in case they come back, and help keep the report clean.  Since a person has taken the trouble to optout, we need to ensure that the members honors the request, which is why we cannot show the email or allow normal access to inactive contacts.  We could delete the contacts, but then any details, notes, etc would be lost in the event the person decides to return (plus people would claim their contacts are completely disappearing).

A. To setup a capture page to use a specific autoresponder series (contact group), you will need to do 3 steps in the following order.  If you already have a contact group with autoresponder messages, you can skip to step 3.




STEP 1
Create a new contact group.






STEP 2
Add an autoresponder message (or series of messages) to the contact group.






 STEP 3
Assign a capture page to the new contact group.


















*Now, whenever a contact fills out the form on that capture page they will be assigned to the new contact group (autoresponder series) that you created.

*NOTE: If you cannot find the page under "Edit Pages" then go to pages and edit the page there, assigning it to the contact group.

Then you will be redirected to a page where you have to upload the CSV file containing a list of the contacts to upload.






And once you've uploaded the file. Scroll all the way down, and from there you will see a dropdown for the contact groups. So each contact groups have different sets of autoresponder messages.
