How to edit your opt-in confirmation email

The opt-in confirmation email is 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
    • The contact does not have an "Active" status for your list. Learn more about contact statuses
• Opt-in confirmation emails are transactional emails and will not contain an unsubscribe link
• It is not possible to remove the default footer from opt-in confirmation emails
