Hi There,
I have a question about Double Opt-in confirmation and sign-ups.
We are currently sending our mailout via our host with the MailPoet plugin, and accordingly we have a MailPoet sign-up form on our website. We’re finding that our automated sign-up confirmation emails are being blocked or junked and not getting through.
When using the MailPoet Sending Service (Premium) for sending the newsletter proper, are the sign-up confirmation emails ALSO sent to the new subscriber with the Sending Service? and hence more get through?
Thanks,
Gareth

I agree with the comment above. Why are we not able to use the MailPoet editor to edit this confirmation email? Seems such an old way to handmade this!

Why is it not possible to use a MailPoet email edited in the MailPoet email editor as the Opt-in email?

Seems absolutely bonkers to be hand coding an email when the whole point of this plugin is to make emails simple and beautiful.

Hi Christian,

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing issues with this.

The outline we’ve provided above does detail the correct steps you need to follow to do this, so I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to say why this isn’t working for you. I would recommend double-checking the following:

1. You’re pasting the code into the ‘Email Content’ box under the ‘Sign-up Confirmation’ settings.
2. If you’ve edited the code to include your own colours and links, make sure that you haven’t accidentally deleted any of the surrounding code.
3. To test, you’ll need to signup to your own form and wait for the confirmation email to arrive. There’s no ‘preview’ functionality in this area, which unfortunately does make it a little trickier to test.

I hope that helps!

Laura

Hi, how do I add the subscribers name? I have the below code which isn't working. Hello [user:firstname | user:lastname | default:subscriber]

There’s a very good reason… If there’s a link or a button to press you are reminding readers that they can (and should) share your news. Furthermore, I don’t really want people to forward my newsletters, I’d much rather get new subscribers. What I’d really love is a “recommend to a friend” button or link which would A: put the new email on a subscriber list waiting for confirmation B: send a customizable welcoming email to the friend in question which can say “your friend XYZ thought you’d like to subscribe, etc etc. Please confirm by clicking here” It could also include a note from the friend who is making the recommendation. This is a feature I’ve been wanting for a very long time…
