Edit a contact's opt-in type

Learn how to change your contact's opt-in type.

Overview

A contact's opt-in type is a demonstration of their sign up status and can prove whether or not you can send marketing campaigns to the contact.

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

To learn more, check out the article Contact opt-in types.

Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • You must read and understand the article Contact opt-in types.
  • You must not change a contact's opt-in type to Double without recorded consent.
  • If you change the opt-in type to Verified double for contacts already in your address books, we'll send them a confirmation email and temporarily remove them from all of your address books until they manually confirm their opt-in status.
