Hi,

I'm making a newsletter form, where the subscribers get a confirmation email after the subscribe. This part is working fine, so far so good.

 

When the email is recieved, theres a link to confirm the subscribtion, the links URL has all kinds of information in it, but when I follow the link I just end up at the frontpage, and I'm not subscribed to the list.

I know that the link to the confirmation is:

<!--@ConfirmUrl-->

but how can I get it to work, so the subscribers actually get on the subscriber list?

Hi Jon

If I remember correctly you can setup a confirmation url (bekræftelsesside) in the paragraphmodule settings. The confirmurl tag should send the user to this page. Please correct me if i'm wrong :-)

Unfortunately, there was not such a solution. Is there another way to do it?
Is there a way to avoid using this feature, so users just are signed up but still get a mail that they are written up, with a link to unsubscribe page?

 I'm using version 19.2.5.2 so I should be up to date on that part.

Okay. What settings do you use in Costumized URLs in Management center?

 The problem is, that I don't have any options or maybe I'm not aware of the location of the settings. Can you post a screenshot where I do this?

What do I have to have on the confirmation page I'm sending the subcribers to?

Take a look at the swf video, that I have attached.
You just need to create pages with some info text for the user:

  • Confirmation page*
  • Error page
  • Page redirection

*This is the page that the user is redirected to from the Confirmation link in the e-mail (Enable Confirmation and enable New user).

When the user has clicked the confirmation link in the e-mail, the subscription is confirmed and the user is listed in the Newsletterv3 backend in the category/categories that the user subscribed to. If Notification is enabled, then the administrator gets a notification e-mail when the user has confirmed.

I hope this helps you.
