Subscribe By Sending Email in Arigato PRO

From version 2.2.7 the WordPress autoresponder plugin Arigato PRO supports “Subscribe by sending email” feature.

Here is how it works: you need to designate an email address and enter your POP3 login details in the new “Subscribe by Email” page:

subscribe-by-email-pop3

Then the plugin’s cron job will login once per day to this account and will check all emails older less than one week. The users who sent email to this address will get subscribed to the selected mailing list(s) and accordingly to the settings you set:

subscribe-by-email-lists

You can specify a phrase in the email subject that will be used to recognize who should subscribe (so spam or other random email won’t be processed). This lets you even to use the email address for other correspondence although this is not recommended.

How Do I Get The Update?

If you are not yet a customer, please purchase the plugin from our site. If you are existing customer eligible for upgrade we will send you upgrade by a newsletter when version 2.3 is completed. Don’t want to wait? Email us and we’ll send you 2.2.7 right away.

Namaste! LMS to WatuPRO Play Bridge

This is a tiny bridge for customers who use both Namaste! LMS and the WatuPRO Play plugin. It lets you do two things:

  • Assign badges from WatuPRO play for completing courses in Namaste! LMS. These badges will be assigned without considering the badge requirements. if you want badges which will be assigned for completing courses but cannot be assigned through taking quizzes, simply assign very high requirements (for example a million points or over 100% correct answers) so the badge can never be earned from WatuPRO but only from Namaste
  • You can also transfer the points earned in Namaste (if using the Namaste points system) to the user’s balance in WatuPRO Play. Then they can use these points to earn levels, badges, or redeem rewards.

Collect User Contact Information With WatuPRO

Note: From version 4.4.3 to version 4.4.4.5 there is a small bug in the Advanced Settings page (Intelligence module). When you save the advanced settings it will remove the contact info feature settings. If you are running any of these versions please let us know to send you update. Update will anyway be sent to everyone when we release version 4.5 so there is nothing to hurry about unless you use the Advanced Settings page and have a version between 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.5.

From version 4.4.3 the quiz plugin WatuPRO has an easier way to collect the following information from every quiz taker:

  • User email
  • Name
  • Company name
  • Phone

The best thing is that you can easily set this to happen before or after taking the quiz. Here is how the new setting looks in the Add / Edit Quiz page under “User and Email Related Settings”:

ask-for-contacts

That’s it. The software will figure out how to display this depending on your quiz settings.

And more, for logged in users it will automatically prepopulate email and name. This is what you call easy.

Thus collected information will be visible to you in the quiz results page.

Moreover, if you have selected to email the user their results, the quiz will use the information from these fields and no longer open “Enter email” field on top of the page. (The field will still appear if you don’t select “Ask for email” but select “Email user their results”). So every possible situation is covered.

Other and older (more complicated) methods:

The older methods of obtaining user contact information still exist and you can still use them:

  • Request contact information with open-end “survey” type questions
  • Request user and email with your own tags like explained here.

While both methods will keep working, we strongly recommend you to start using the new option. It is really much simpler for you.
