The opt-in confirmation email is an email sent to contacts who submit your subscription form.
Take note
The opt-in confirmation message can only be sent to contacts if they meet both of the following requirements:
- You have the double opt-in enabled on your ActiveCampaign form
Single opt-in forms do not use opt-in confirmation emails. Learn more about the differences between a single and double opt-in. - The contact does not have an "Active" status for your list
If a contact is active for your list and submits your form, they will see your confirmation action instead of receiving your opt-in email. Read more about confirmation actions. Learn more about contact statuses.
