With ResultsAiX Mailer on the same site, your email list and your private podcast work as one. Tags hand out private links, signups land in your list, and new episodes become ready-made emails.
A tag that gives a private link:
- Open Podcasts, Dashboard, Integrations, Levels and tags that give a private link.
- Under ResultsAiX Mailer, each tag has a row. Tick Every members-only show, or single shows.
- To use a tag that is not listed yet, type it in Another tag and press Save. It starts with Every members-only show ticked; change its shows after saving.
- Press Save.
Anyone who gets that tag becomes a listener and gets their private link by email (when Send the welcome email is on). They show on the Listeners screen with From set to Mailer tag. Taking the tag off takes the shows away again, unless something else gave them.
Tag everyone who signs up:
On the Integrations tab, type a tag name in Mailer tag for people who use the signup form, for example podcast-signup, and press Save. Everyone who uses the Podcast Signup form is then added to your Mailer (or updated, if they are already there) with their first name and that tag.
Welcome emails through the Mailer:
When the Mailer has a sending service set up, welcome emails go out through it, from the Mailer's from name and address, which is the best way for them to reach the inbox. Without a sending service, your site sends them itself.
Email listeners about new episodes:
- Open Podcasts, Settings, and under Listeners with no login switch on Email listeners about new episodes.
- Press Save podcast settings.
- Each time an episode is published for the first time, a draft broadcast appears in the Mailer, named New episode: and the episode title.
The draft has the episode title as its subject, the summary, a Listen now button to the episode page, and a line for people who already follow in their app. It is addressed to the tags that give that episode's show. A public episode with no tag for its show still becomes a draft; choose who gets it in the Mailer.
Nothing is sent until you send it. Open the draft in the Mailer, check the audience, the words and the tags, and send or schedule it.
A real example:
yoursite.com tags new coaching clients with coaching-client in the Mailer. On the Integrations tab, coaching-client gives the Client Onboarding Series, so a client tagged by your checkout gets the series by email within moments. Email listeners about new episodes is on, so when a new Your Business Podcast episode goes live on Tuesday morning, its draft broadcast is waiting in the Mailer.
Tips:
- A tag-based listener whose tag is removed keeps any show you gave them by hand.
- Set up the Mailer's sending service before a big import, so welcome emails go out smoothly.
