Links in autoresponder emails with address-dependant parameters?
I want to be able to include links in newsletters that have address-dependant parameters in them, for example ...
subscriber 1 will get a link to [page url]?key=abc
subsriber 2 will see the same thing but the link will send them to [page url]?key=def
subscriber 5027 (I wish) would get [page url]?key=zyx
Which autoresponders (if any) support this type of thing?
Obviously I'll have to specify which key goes with which address and ideally I'd like to be able to do that via an api so I can generate and update them programatically.
I hope that makes some sense.
In case it helps explain ...
On the website I want to be able to include user-specific content without the user needing to log in and provide a password. They should just get it without further action when they follow the link.
I don't want to use the email address directly because someone else can too easily impersonate that person. That's why I want to use a separate key.
Also, a subscriber's email address would stay constant but I'd want to change the keys used for each newsletter. ie the email address / key association is temporary.
There are no security issues. If someone gets hold of and uses someone else's key it doesn't really matter. I don't want that happening much but from time to time or if the some people forward the newletter to others and they use the same links, that's OK.
The autoresponders I'm considering at the moment are aweber, getresponse and inmica but other recommendations welcome.
Price is important, so would tend towards inmica. But if I can do this with one and not another, that would be the deciding factor, not the cost. If none of them support it then I need to re-think things a bit.
