arpReach Integration

If you want to use DAP for your membership and arpReach for email marketing, then you can do so by integrating arpReach with DAP using this document.

You can integrate BOTH DAP Free and DAP Paid products with arpReach.

1) Login to your arpReach account and create a form for your autoresponder.

In the ‘content’ tab for form setup, click ‘fields’ and scroll down to see your custom fields. Select these fields:

Email
First Name
Last name
Address #1
Address #2
Town or City
State or Province
Country
ZIP code

Then save the form and use the “Choose action” button to “Get form code”.

Say your form has the URL:
http://yoursite.com/ar/a.php/sub/1/ak881s

Make a note of this. You will need this in the next step.

2) Integrate DAP Free Signup Form => arpReach List

You can use DAP Free Signup Form and integrate it with your arpReach form.

(1) Create your FREE product in DAP Products Page.

(2) Make sure that “Allow Free Signup” is set to “Yes” in DAP Products page.

(3) In Products/Levels -> Manage -> Notification tab -> Plugin Notification upon User “Add”, enter data in this format:

arpreach:<arpreach form url>

For ex: if your arpreach form url is http://yoursite.com/ar/a.php/sub/1/ak881s (please refer step 1 above to see how to get this url), then enter this in the DAP products -> Notifications -> Plugin Notification (add/remove) section:

arpreach:http://yoursite.com/ar/a.php/sub/1/ak881s

That’s it.

Now when a user signs up to your free DAP product, they will automatically get added to the right arpReach form.

2) Integrate DAP Paid Product => arpReach Form

If you want your paid members to get added to the arpReach form automatically after a purchase, then you can use the same steps to integrate DAP to arpReach that you used above to integrate the DAP free product to arpReach .

– In Products/Levels -> Manage -> Notification tab -> Plugin Notification upon User “Add” and “Remove”, enter data in this format:

arpreach:<arpreach form url>

For ex: if your arpreach form url is http://yoursite.com/ar/a.php/sub/1/ak881s (please refer step 1 above to see how to get this url), then enter this in the DAP products -> Notifications -> Plugin Notification (add/remove) section:

arpreach:http://yoursite.com/ar/a.php/sub/1/ak881s

That’s it.

Now when a user purchases paid DAP product, they will automatically get added to the right arpReach form.

I assume that system emails such as “welcome” and “lost password” are still sent directly from the server, and NOT passed to ARPReach for delivery, is that correct?

So If I understand correctly, I must integrate both DAP and ARPReach with Amazon SES. This way, DAP can send “system” emails, and ARPReach can send “autoresponder” emails, is that right?

Or, optionally,. . . I could send system emails directly from my server, and use ARPreach to handle autoresponder lists (They integrate with Mandrill so I’m trying to avoid Amazon if possible).

Hi Dave,

This way, DAP can send “system” emails, and ARPReach can send “autoresponder” emails, is that right? < < For DAP to send the welcome email and other system email, you can integrate DAP with 3rd party SMTP services like SES or Mandrill OR you can use your server (webhost) to send out emails. If you are on shared hosting, we recommend Amazon SES (or other 3rd party SMTP services) for better email deliverability. >> Or, optionally,. . . I could send system emails directly from my server, and use ARPreach to handle autoresponder lists (They integrate with Mandrill so I’m trying to avoid Amazon if possible). << You can use Mandrill for both DAP as well as ARPReach. No need to use Amazon. Thanks, Veena
