Online version or Archive available for Email Recipients?

I am using MLM.

I would like to put a link at the top of my emails that says "Having trouble viewing this email? Click to view in your browser." The link will open up a custom version of the email I sent them in their browser. By custom, I mean when I customize each email with tags, these will be populated in the browser version as well.

I have done this with online ESP's. I think they call it an Archive.

Is there a way to do this with MLM and MaxBulk Mailer?

This is a line you have to add on top of your HTML code, below the <body> tag.

I guess I was not clear.

I can host a copy of my HTML email on my webserver, but it will not be custom to the viewer. It will be static. I need it dynamic.

Right now the recipient gets a HTML email I send to them with tags like [surname] and [company] inserted. What I need to happen is that when a recipient click the hyperlink I insert (view in browser) a dynamically generated HTML webpage get shown with the custom [surname] and [company] populated.

Basically, is there a way to link a webpage to MLM to dynamically generate a page.

This is very common functionality for ESP's and marketing emails I get everyday.

Can your product do this?

Thanks.

If I were you I would create that page with the PHP extension, I would pass the data as parameters like:

mypage.php?firstname=[Firstname]&lastname=[Surname]

and I would insert the data into the HTML code using:

<?php echo $firstname; ?> and <?php echo $lastname; ?>

As you can see, it is very easy. Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks Stan. That's what I ended up doing.
