Begin automating your file distribution today!
Automail is web based software that you can use to distribute files via email to your customers. This is particularly useful for distribution of shareware, demo software, or any other files that you email often.
How Does AutoMail Work?
1. A user enters their email address into a form on your website, and if applicable, chooses which file they are requesting.
2. An email is sent to the user with a text body and your file(s) as an attachment.
3. The owner (you) can receive an email notification of each request, if desired.
4. A log file is kept, if desired, containing- - Email addresses of users that requested your file
- File requested
- Date/Time
5. The user is autoforwarded to a 'thank you' page on your
website. The user never knows the request went through our server.

Why Use AutoMail?
Here's a list of advantages you'll have in your setup for AutoMail:
1. THE MOST IMPORTANT benefit is that you obtain email addresses of those people that are interested in your product. You can then follow up at a later time to keep the communication open. This improves sales, and also allows for further product development via input from people that are already interested in your product.
2. Getting a file via email is easier for many web surfers. They can continue to surf, without having to download, pick a spot on their hard drive, and load it later (if they remember). The file shows up in their email, with instructions written by you, and they can utilize it at their leisure. If you place links back to your site in the email body you can greatly increase the chances of a return visit.
3. Use it yourself to send your files and save time. If you send out a lot of files, over and over, or your files are large, you probably spend a lot of time forwarding files to your customers via email, and possibly over a slow modem. With AutoMail, simply type in email addresses into a form field, and the file is sent instantly from our server, with no waiting on your end.
4. You'll have Fully automated file distribution on your website. You don't have to do anything! Your customers get the files, and you get a customer contact list that grows every day!
