Create & configure newsletter registration form

You would like to expand your newsletter distribution list and gain new e-mail addresses to address more people with your newsletter. The best way to do this is to use a newsletter registration form with the registration procedure Double Opt-In.

Newsletter subscription forms are a special form of web forms. After the registration always follows a confirmation e-mail to the interested party with one of the following confirmation procedures:

Double Opt-In: after filling out the form, the system sends a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address provided. This contains a link that the subscriber must use to confirm their registration.

Opt-Out: Special case of address confirmation. In this case it is assumed that the e-mail address (customer) already exists in the company, but has not yet been confirmed for the newsletter.

Opt-In: The address data transmitted by the sender with the e-mail address is not confirmed. This means that this address data is immediately released for dispatch by the system - without having to obtain the sender's permission. The single opt-in procedure should therefore only be used if it can be ensured that no violation of applicable law occurs.
