Hello, I have a couple of questions...\u000a\u000aQuestion 1. How does the double opt\u002Din work? I am assuming that I can easily set up the following process...\u000a\u000a1. User subscribes via a form\u000a\u000a2. User email is listed as \u0027unsubscribed\u0027 in the sendfox software.\u000a\u000a3. User gets an instruction on screen telling him/her to check their inbox, and click the link in the confirmation email.\u000a\u000a(I use Thrive Leads, so I know that I can do points 1 and 3 using Thrive Leads.)\u000a\u000a4. User goes to inbox, opens confirmation email (sent immediately) and then clicks on the confirmation link to subscribe to newsletter.\u000a\u000a5. A thankyou message is displayed\u000a\u000a6. Users email is then listed as \u0027subscribed\u0027 in the sendfox inbox.\u000a\u000aIs this how sendfox double opt\u002Din works?\u000a\u000aQuestion 2. Immediately after the confirmation link is clicked by the new subscriber, is it possible for an automated email (i.e. the first ever newsletter) to be sent immediately? That is immediately, and not at a specified time, like 1 hour or 24 hours after subscription. \u000a\u000aAt the moment (using mailpoet) I do this and the first newsletter is automatically (and immediately) sent, which contains my welcome message and the promised link to my lead magnet. This way users are forced to open at least one newsletter in order to access the lead magnet.\u000a\u000aIs the above sequence possible in Sendfox?\u000a\u000aThanks in advance...

Hola, Sumo\u002Dling! 🤠\u000a\u000aGreat technical questions. This is fun for me to answer.\u000a\u000aWe have a field in a subscriber\u0027s profile that shows \u0022Confirmed\u0022 status as yes (if they confirmed directly from SendFox), no (if they did not confirm from SendFox), and Unknown (if they\u0027re imported or double opt\u002Din was not enabled and we have no idea their state).\u000a\u000aWhen double opt\u002Din is enabled, let\u0027s say when someone signs up using the Thrive Leads integration, they\u0027d be sent a double opt\u002Din message to confirm. As soon as they confirm, they\u0027re marked as confirmed.\u000a\u000aIf you have an automation for that subscriber\u0027s list, they\u0027ll receive the automation message based on the timer you set AFTER they confirm. For example, if you have a timer of \u00220\u0022, they\u0027d receive the automation message immediately after they confirm. Easy\u002Dpeasy, lemon\u002Dsqueezy.\u000a\u000aAnd generally\u002Dspeaking, yes. We have automation states so you can even send them a secondary automation sequence based on them taking a specific action (i.e. open) in your first automation sequence. We use this ourselves, for people who open a certain email getting a \u0022bonus\u0022 email from a secondary automation.
