Aweber Integration Summary
The Aweber integration options depend on whether the product is Free Product OR Paid Product.
1) Paid Product
If it’s a paid product, then the integration is always from Payment Processor => DAP => Aweber. And Aweber requires the list to be double-opt-in for this type of integration (3rd party email subscription from DAP => Aweber).
Refer this documentation on how to integrate DAP -> Aweber.
While Aweber list needs to be double-opt-in, the DAP product can be defined as single-opt-in, so this way the subscribers will only receive 2 emails :
– Aweber confirmation email
– DAP thankyou email with id/password
For paid products, currently there’s no way to make sure the AWeber confirmation email goes out before DAP thank-you message.
You can use these workarounds:
a) You can configure DAP to generate a default password (for all users)… that way you do not have to send out any thank-you message from DAP. Just configure a followup via aweber with their default DAP password and instructions to update password upon login.
b) But if you have security concerns with the default password approach, then you can configure a autoresponder via DAP to send out user’s dap id/password. Do not configure any thankyou message because the thankyou message gets sent instantly and might go out before the users receive aweber confirmation. But if you configure an autoresponder message to say drip day 1 with their membership id/password, then the message will get sent at the top of the hour when the dap cron runs. It does not get sent instantly. So there’s a better chance of users receiving and completing aweber confirmation before dap thankyou arrives.
2) Free Product
If its a free product, then there are 2 options.
2.1 ) You can use Aweber sign-up form (webform) instead of DAP Direct Signup form.
The Aweber list can be double-opt-in or single-opt-in.
If you want the aweber list to be single opt-in, then there’s no way to make sure the AWeber confirmation email goes out before the DAP thank-you message because of limited config options in Aweber.
But if you are ok with making the Aweber list as double-opt-in (recommended setting for free products), then the integration will work great.
2.1.1) AWeber webform ( single opt-in list ) => DAP product
– User will be first added to Aweber
– Aweber will automatically notify dap
– DAP will then add user to the free product
– Aweber confirmation will go out
– DAP welcome/thankyou email will go out
No way to make sure dap thankyou goes out after Aweber confirmation ( You can use the workaround described above for paid products).

2.1.2) AWeber webform ( double opt-in list ) => DAP product – RECOMMENDED
– User will be first added to Aweber
– Aweber will automatically notify dap
– DAP will then add user to the free product
– Aweber confirmation will go out first
After user completes the aweber confirmation, only then the DAP welcome/thankyou email will go out.
For this, use Aweber list level settings (Under My Lists -> List Settings ->Confirmed Opt-in tab). Set the list level confirmation URL to point to the dap-aweber-productId.php script that you can create using the documentation here :

2.2) You can have the user signup via dap signup form and have dap notify aweber and then the user will be added to aweber list.
Use the same integration method as Paid products decribed above (DAP => Aweber).
