UpViral has a feature built in that sends over the Referral URL and other custom fields (in case they add extra fields at the opt-in page, like gender, etc) to your auto-responder. This means that when someone signs up, your auto-responder won't just receive someone's name & email address, but also their personal link (which they got to refer others) as well as other details needed.

You can now send follow-up emails from your own auto-responder that includes everyone's unique personal URL! We're doing that by adding everyone's personal link as a "custom field", which you can then use in your campaigns.

Since the exact usage of custom fields is different for every auto-responder, it is best to refer to your auto-responder documentation or support area. In order to use this feature, there are two things:

  1. You will need to integrate your Autoresponder into UpViral.

  2. You will need to add the custom field "refurl" to your campaign first. Below you'll find more guidance on how to set that up for each of the auto-responders.

In this article, we will be outlining the steps for Aweber. Prior to showing the steps, please review the article below on how to add your autoresponder.
