Double Opt-In Email Signups

In double opt-in Email signups, customers need to additionally verify their Email address by clicking on a verification link sent to their Email address.

The double opt-in process explained

Step 1

Create a Landing page (Thank You page for successful Signups)

As per your design preferences, create a landing page that you would like to auto-send to successful signups. You could design this landing page as a thank you or a welcome page, or to send discount coupons, etc.

Step 2

Create an Email with a Confirmed Opt-in verification button

Next, create an Email that you would like to auto-send to new signups for verifying their Email addresses.

Make sure that you add a button to this Email and select Confirmed opt-in verification as the button action (highlighted in the screenshot below).

Use the next field Select thank you page* to select the landing page that you would like to auto-send to people who click the Confirm Signup button (As created in Step 1).
