Functional Flow
Scenario A.

1.- The user sends traffic to a Landing Page (Opt-In) to get a subscriber.
2.- The Landing Page (Opt-In) allows visitor to opt-in typing his/her email or clicking the
Facebook Button, if Facebook Button is clicked, then it will request the visitor to
authenticate the Facebook App.
3.- After the visitor authenticates the Facebook App, the following events will take place:
4.- The email of the visitor will be added to the Autoresponder list configured/integrated in
the plugin (the list is created in the Autoresponder and in the plugin it is integrated).
5.- The visitor will be added to the Facebook List (that is part of the plugin) and that
Facebook Id has authenticated the Facebook App in order to be able to receive
notifications.
6.- The visitor will be redirected to a Thank You Page (which can be any URL) after
opting-in.
7.- The plugin user can write the a text which will be sent as a Facebook Notification and
will include an URL. When a Facebook user receives the notification and clicks it, he/she
will be redirected to the URL specified.
8.- The Facebook users which have authenticated the FB App, will receive the notification
sent by the plugin user.
9.- The plugin user can see the Facebook Notification stats. The stats are the ones that
Facebook generate.

Scenario B.

1.- The plugin user already has an Autoresponder list with subscribers.
2.- The plugin user will select to import the Autoresponder subscribers list to the FB List
(plugin) in order to send Facebook notifications to his/her subscribers.
(Most of the Autoresponders provide a built-in export functionality which generates a .csv
file with the email addresses list.)
3.- Once the import process finishes, now the same Autoresponder subscribers list is now
available in the FB List (plugin) and ready/able to send Facebook notifications.
4.- The plugin users creates the notification text and specifies the URL, then sends the
notification to all the subscribers he/she previously imported from an Autoresponder list.
If an email address that was imported from the Autoresponder is not a Facebook user, then
that subscriber will be removed from the FB List (plugin) or it will remain there but a
notification won't be sent.
5.- The plugin user can see the Facebook Notification stats. The stats are the ones that
Facebook generate.

GetResponse, Mail Chimp, etc.)
f. Double Subscribers
Everytime a user authenticates the Facebook App, a list of authenticated users must be
created in the plugin (this list is what I called the FB List in the flow diagrams) and in case
the plugin user has integrated/configured an Autoresponder, then also the email address
will be added to the Autoresponder list.

Include an option to specify any URL as a Thank You Page after a visitor opt-ins. For
example: if a user opt-ins in the landing page (using the email address or authenticating the
Facebook App), then the visitor will be redirected to the URL specified (if any) by the
plugin user.

visitor to authenticate the Facebook App.

in the blog.
q. Plugin Licenses Managements
Since the plugin is going to be a paid product, there must be a mechanism to control the

prevent the plugin to be distributed without permission. For example: There will be
Single-Site licenses and Multi-Site licenses.

SETUP: The user will be able to setup the plugin by completing the configuration steps. The
configuration needed must be the most simple possible and user friendly. The less steps the
better but flexibility must be kept.

following information should be displayed:
One row per subscriber with the following columns:

which is the message to be displayed as the FB Notification. In addition, there should be a
field where the user will be able to type an URL which will be the URL of the FB

(Insights Dashboard) like: number of notifications sent, % of opened notifications, number
of clicks, opt-outs, etc.
BUILD LIST: This section must provide the users one or more mechanisms to build their lists
in order to be able to send notifications to the list's subscribers.
The mechanism should be the following:

A Connect with Facebook button so the user accepts the App and notifications can

To import a list of emails from the exisitng subscribers list a user may have in an
autoresponder. **To review if it is possible**

Autoresponder integration can be simple as pasting the j-script code or html code provided
by the autoresponders.

Facebook account (Connect With Facebook).
