Autoresponders

All FastVirtual hosting plans include unlimited autoresponders.

Autoresponders enable you to send a preformatted response when email is sent to a certain email address. They are typically used to reply to messages with a "canned" reply or greeting, such as a price list or a thank you message.

Autoresponders are easily added and configured from the "Email" area of your account control panel.

Autoresponders Explained

Autoresponders enable you to prepare preformatted responses for particular email addresses.

For example, if you provide customer support via support@yourname.com, you may wish to prepare an automatic response for all email sent to this address. In this automated response you could confirm that the customer's email was received, and perhaps provide details of general response times, or alternative support options.

Your could also use autoresponders to provide product or service information, such as price or stock lists, thereby reducing the amount of email your sales staff have to handle.

To receive a sample autoresponder, send a blank email to autosample@fastvirtual.com. You should receive a reply within a few seconds, thanking you for trying the sample autoresponder, and providing general information about FastVirtual's services.
