About Confirmation Emails for Contacts and Contact Lists

When you're creating or updating a contact or contact list, you can specify that you want to send new contacts, or new additions to a contact list, an email request to subscribe to your communications (or reject them).

This option is available if you're using the Opt-In Authorization process for contacts. For more information, see Manage Opt-In for Emails to Contacts.

The sending of an opt-in email uses 1 of your mailing credits. For more information, see Mailing Credits.

You can create email templates to format the emails sent. You have the option to create a different confirmation email for each contact list (for example, if you're using different contact lists for your partners in multiple countries).

You can also create a general email template to cover contacts that aren't created as part of a contact list.

Each template includes a link to your contact form, which recipients can use to manage their communication preferences. For more information, see Contact Forms for Contact Lists.

Go to the Confirmation Email tab in one of these locations:

• The contact list for which you're creating the email template
• The Opt-In Authorization page (for new contacts added outside of contact lists)

You can carry out these tasks in the Confirmation Email tab:

• Switch Template - change the template to be used for this email.
• Test - send yourself a test email, to verify that the template provides the email you want. You can do this at any time during the editing process.
• Edit - update the sender name, sender email, and subject fields of the template.
• Personalize - customize the content of the template so that contacts will recognize your organization and your communications. You can edit any fields that are surrounded by dotted lines. These fields vary depending on the supplier.
• Save and Publish (during personalization) - make the new template available for use.
