DOUBLE OPT IN FOR GRAVITY FORMS

Preparatory steps

1. Upload the addon to your WordPress backend and activate it
2. Create a new form or use an existing one and switch to form settings

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Activate the function in the form settings:

After that, specify whether the confirmation page for the sender should point to an internal WordPress page or to a URL (this is the page that the sender will see when he confirms his mail address). If you haven’t created a page for this yet, you can do that before.

Also set the setting for the rest of the options you see:

2. Adjust the text for the confirmation after sending so that the sender knows what to do

3. Prepare the notifications

First, a mail must be sent to the sender, then after its confirmation the recipient will receive the mail. A third notification can be created in case of a reminder. In the end, your list should look like this:

Go to Notifications and create a new notification for the confirmation mail. Select “Send verification email to user” as the event. Make sure that the {confirmation_url} or {confirmation_link} placeholder appears somewhere in your text, as it will be converted to a link afterwards (it is also accessible from the dropdown menu to the right of the text field) – something like this (text or HTML view, respectively):

Now test your settings and check if all mails are sent as scheduled.
