How to Customize AutoResponse Plus Thank-you Pages
When someone submit your ARP opt-in form and confirm their subscription they arrive a thank-you page.
The AutoResponse Plus (ARP3) provides you with default subscriber-facing pages in English.
However you’re able to enter your custom pages URL in the ARP settings to redirect people to these pages.
This allows you to use extra information on these pages or use pages in your native language.
Global Custom Pages
Use the ARP “System -> Settings” menu to open the ARP Settings page. You’ll find the fields to customize all the thank-you pages of your ARP3 there:
- Subscribe success/failure pages
- UnSubscribe success/failure pages
- Subscription Confirmation success/failure pages
Enter the full-URL to your pages in these fields like:
http://www.your-site.com/success-thanks.html
Please note, these settings affect all your ARP’ autoresponders if you don’t change the settings of specified autoresponders. This means your subscribers would be directed to the same thank-you pages after they subscribed on any of your autoresponders.
Autoresponder-specified pages
You can setup different thank-you pages they would be directed to after confirmation of their subscription for each of your autoresponder.
Open the Properties page of the autoresponder you need and find these fields:
- Subscription Confirmation success page
- Subscription Confirmation failure page
Enter the full-URL to your pages like above.
Opt-in form-specified pages
The ARP3 allows you to use different subscribe/unsubscribe thank-you pages for every Opt-in web-form. However there is a small trick… You need to add a Tracking Tag into your form to be able to direct them to a specific page after the form submitted.
The ARP3 Tracking Tags have fields to setup:
- Subscribe success/failure page
- UnSubscribe success/failure page
Use the ARP3 Tracking Tags -> Create New or Tracking Tags -> Show List menu to add new or edit an existent Tag. Enter the thank-you pages URL you’d like them to be directed on after a form submitted.
Now you need to generate a Subscription Form with the Tracking Tag you’ve just setup.
Use the Form Code link at the Autoresponders list page to navigate the Generate Form page. Check the boxes of fields you need in your form and select the Tracking Tag you’ve set and click the Generate Code button.
Then select and copy the generated code of your web-form. Place the code on your Opt-in page. Your subscribers now would be directed to the thank-you page entered in the Tracking Tag fields just after submitting the form.
Fine Tuning Custom Subscription pages
When the ARP3 redirects you to a custom subscription page it adds some code to the pages’ URL. So the page URL looks like:
http://www.your-site.com/success-thanks.html?code=S01
Each code is used in a specific case and helps you to tune your pages.
You can find the list of all codes available in the tables below.
The codes beginning with “S” are success codes:
| code | code meaning |

Successful subscription without confirmation required |
S02 |
Successful subscription with confirmation required |

The simplest way to use these codes is to assign a PHP-script as the subscription page and redirect them further to different pages in depend on the codes.
You can download the arp-thank-you.php script to use it with your AutoResponse Plus.
1) Open these file with a text-editor (Notepad) and enter your thank-you pages URL there. The Default success and failure pages will be used when you don’t need a specific page, but a generic one.
<?php
// Enter your default success and failure pages URL
$default_success_URL = "http://your-site/success.html";
$default_failure_URL = "http://your-site/failure.html";
. . .Then you enter the pages URL for each specific code. When you need a Default page instead of specified one for some cases just comment the corresponding $url code-line with two slash letters preceding the line ( // ).
<?php
// Enter your default success and failure pages URL
$default_success_URL = "http://your-site/success.html";
$default_failure_URL = "http://your-site/failure.html";
if (isset($_GET["code"])) {
switch(trim($_GET["code"])) {
//Enter your success pages URL below
case "S01": //Subscription without confirmation required
$url = "http://www.your-site/success01.html";
break;
case "S02": //Subscription with confirmation required
$url = "http://www.your-site/success02.html";
break;
case "S03": //Subscription on several autoresponders
$url = "http://www.your-site/success03.html";
break;
case "RS01": //Successful subscription on RSS feed
// $url = "http://www.your-site/success.html";
// Commented to use the Default page
break;
//Enter your failure pages URL below
case "F01": //There is no form data to process.
$url = "http://www.your-site/failure01.html";
break;
case "F02": //You need to enter your e-mail address.
$url = "http://www.your-site/failure02.html";
break;
. . .
2) Upload your changed script-file onto your site.
3) Set these file URL as the custom subscription success or/and failure page in the ARP3 custom page fields.
