Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • Before you change an email opt-in type, you must read about and fully understand the different opt-in types available. In many cases, you can't change the email opt-in type of a contact without their recorded consent.

  • You must not change a contact's email opt-in type to Double without recorded consent.

  • If you change the email opt-in type to Verified double for contacts already in your lists, we send them a confirmation email and temporarily remove them from all of your lists until they manually confirm their opt-in status.
