Setting Email Opt-In when Creating Contacts

If you have activated the Opt-In Authorization requirement for your account, you can control the opt-in setting for any new contacts you create.

1. Navigate to the Contacts page.
2. Use the Add Contacts menu to choose the method you're going to use to add contacts - importing a file or creating a new single contact. For more information, see Add a New Contact or Add New Contacts by Uploading a File.

3. In the Opt-In Authorization field, choose one of the following settings: 

   • Opt-In Authorization has previously been received for this contact. Add contact as Opt-In Authorized - the contact will have a status of Active.
   • Send the Opt-in Authorization email. The email will go out immediately, and the contact will have a status of Pending until they respond to it.
   • Add new contact and do not email them. The contact will not be available for email communications unless further Opt-In Authorization actions are taken - the contact will have a status of Pending.

   Note: if you're uploading contacts from a file, this setting will apply to all the new contacts,

4. Click Save.
