Help with Script

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Hey guys,
I'm using aweber and need help with a script. Basically, I need to setup a trigger whereby a user (who's already signed up to my list) gets an email when they click on a certain link in one of my previous emails.

How do I set this up?

Run it through a check in your DB to see if the email already exists. Read this checking if a value exists - MySQL just change the input value obviosuly from an ip address to check for an email

Hey adigitalorange, let me explain -

User subscribes to my list. He starts getting emails from aweber. He eventually gets an email that says 'click this link' and I'll send you a gift. He clicks it, and I now have to send him an email thru aweber with the gift.

How do I do this?

Why not just have that link go to your "gift"?

I find your lack of caring for the gene pool disturbing.

lol that was an example, not quite what I'm doing.

I want to know how to trigger an email delivery when a user completes a certain action, for example, clicking a link

Can aweber append the users email at the end of the link they're clicking on? For example mysite.com/link.php?email=theiremail@something.com? If so that would make it relatively easy to do.

Yes, I think I can append the user's email. What next?

Does aweber have docs available for their service? (Just out of curiousity...)

They do, they call it a knowledge base, but it's a steaming pile of crap. As is their phone support.

I think Aweber has some code that you paste onto the page where they land (youre action page) that puts them onto a new list.

People use this to create buyers and prospect lists. If somebody hits the thank you page, the code will tell Aweber to put them onto a special list.

In your case, if people click on your special link and hit that lander, thats where the code would go.

Make them click a button/link which is nothing but a form with populated hidden fields... (have to do this on website not email)

Throw in some javascript and make it auto submit... but be careful Aweber are fuckers and don't like it when you use thier system to "Really" market your shit...
