How do I enable the opt-in/opt-out functionality?


Go to the My Account section/navigation menu and open the Settings submenu.

Select Preferences link inside the page.

The preferences dialog opens up.

To set preferences for subscribing and unsubscribing: click the Opt-in / Opt-out tab.

You will be able to set preferences for the unsubscribing process (opt-out) and for the subscribing process (opt-in).
 

  1. In the opt-out setting, you define whether a contact that unsubscribes via the unsubscribe link in your e-mail should still receive an email confirming his unsubscription. You have the following choices:

    • no: no email will be send to unsubscribers.  

    • yes: a confirmation email will be send to unsubscribers.

  2. In the opt-in setting, you define whether a contact that subscribes to your list via a send-to-friend form or a form on your website should:

    • not receive any email. Choose "None". The contacts subscribes through the form and that's it.

    • receive a confirmation email. Choose "Confirmed opt-in". The contact subscribes through the form and receives an email to confirm his subscription.

    • receive an email by which he can confirm his subscription. Choose "Double opt-in". The contact says he want to subscribe through the form, he receives an email to ask for confirmation. Only when he confirms by clicking the link in the email, the contact is subscribed to your list.
