That's built in to our list mgt. functionality, and is not so much about autoresponders. That welcome email can be customized any way you want: http://blog.mailchimp.com/personalize-your-welcome-emails-with-custom-freebies/<em>After</em> that, you can program our autoresponder feature: http://mailchimp.com/features/autoresponders/to send a series of emails to all subscribers of that list.FYI, our autoresponder feature is meant to send simple, sequential messages that help you stay in touch with subscribers. If you want more functionality down the road, there are integrations like these that might be helpful:http://connect.mailchimp.com/integrations/performable-enhanced-analytics http://connect.mailchimp.com/integrations/chimpmap Hi Brian,

From what I can see is that Mailchimp does not act like an autoresponder other then the confirmation letter and a welcome letter. This if true would not be a good autoresponder for marketing and keeping clients warm other then linking campaigns which is lots of work.

Receive a subscription request from website 1. Day 1 - confirmation sent 2. Day 2 - Next day welcome letter 3. Day 4 - previous newsletter 4. Day 9 - previous newsletter prior to #3 5. Day 15 - example - invite to visit website 6. etc.Can this be done on one autoresponder and how can this be done. I posted this this morning as well and it seems to be missing or removed. I was wondering if Mailchimp can do the following under one autoresponder.
Receive a subscription request from website
1. Day 1 – confirmation sent
2. Day 2 – Next day welcome letter
3. Day 4 – previous newsletter
4. Day 9 – previous newsletter prior to #3
5. Day 15 – example – invite to visit website
6. etc.

Can this be done on one autoresponder and how can this be done. I posted this this morning as well and it seems to be missing or removed.

Well, sort of -- MailChimp sends a final "welcome message" immediately after people sign up. So you can link to your PDF in the "welcome message." Here's a tutorial: http://blog.mailchimp.com/personalize-your-welcome-emails-with-custom-freebies/You could send PDFs via our autoresponder too, but the fastest our Autoresponders get delivered would be 1 day after signing up to your list (we don't want people to get a welcome email, then an autoresponder, back to back).More explanation here: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/why-cant-your-autoresponders-send-immediately-after-signup/ Yes.
