How to Setup the Aweber Email Parser

AWeber requires the use of the "Email Parser" to successfully capture names. This setup is for AWeber to work properly with remote emails.

Here's how to set it up:

1. Set your autoresponder address to your own email address, and publish the component.
2. Register with your site - you should receive the email with all your paramaters, entitled "New Joomla Signup"
3. Login to your AWeber account, click on List Settings | Email parser to add a new rule.
4. Copy the original message text including headers. In Gmail, select "Show Original" from the "Reply" drop down. Other mail programs will have similar functionality.
5. Paste the message into "Test Parser Before Saving" box.
6. Setup the parser to look like this:

   Trigger Rule: Match On: Headers Decode HTML Entities? Yes  No Rule 1: Match: Body Store In: Name Rule 2: Match: Body Store In: Email

7. Click "Test". If everything looks ok, Click "save"
8. After you've added the parser, make sure to activate it. You can also pull out other fields from the email.
9. Remember to reset the email address in the plugin to point to your AWeber list.

In addition to the Name and Email Address, the system also provides information such as the Joomla! Id of the member. You can capture this in custom fields using the same method you captured Email and Name, above.

Please Note: For AWeber to work, your system must be sending email to the correct AWeber address, those emails must be received by AWeber, and the email parser must be setup properly and enabled. A failure in any of those areas will cause AWeber not to add the signup. In addition, AWeber, on occasion, can be slow to send out confirmation email - be patient.
