Basics > List Management > List Management Examples > Example 3: Managing Confirmations

Prerequisites:

You want SmartSerialMail to process subscriptions automatically and collect the email addresses in a recipient list.

Example:

Your customers confirm their subscription to a newsletter via email (double opt-in). You want SmartSerialMail to filter out these emails and automatically add the sender addresses to a recipient list.

Implementation:

•Switch to "List Management".

•Select the profile for which you want to create a confirmation rule under "Profile".

•Click on the tab "Confirmations" in the "List Management" menu. Check the box "Collect Confirmations" to make sure that SmartSerialMail reacts to subscriptions.

•You can now decide whether SmartSerialMail shall add the email addresses of confirmations emails to a separate list or add them to an already existing list. In this example we want to collect the addresses in a list we will later use for managing our subscribers.

•Check "Collect into" and select the list to which you want to add the subscribers. In this example, a list named "Confirmations" already exists. All confirmations will be added to the "Confirmations" automatically.

•In a final step you can decide whether confirmation emails shall be kept on the server or deleted/forwarded to another address.
