About Double Opt-in

Double Opt-in allows you to confirm the subscription of those Profiles who opt-in to your communications by providing their Email consent.

Note: Profiles that opt-in via a form without Double Opt-in enabled, are subscribed via the File Import Wizard or any other sources, will gain regular Opt-in as opposed to Confirmed Opt-in when Double Opt-in is enabled.

Once a visitor has provided their consent, and depending on your Form's messaging and Terms & Conditions or Consent Element, they will receive an email message where they are asked to confirm their subscription.

This email will lead them to a landing page where they can confirm their subscription and then back to your website, promoting a successful Profile Merge if it happens in the same device and/or browser.

Until Subscribers have confirmed their subscription, their Profile will show their email channel consent as pending.

Profiles with a Pending Opt-in Email type of consent will not receive any sendings until they confirm their subscription.
