Creating a new action

To start with, you will define a new action which enters new data into the recipients database and saves them. The data will be required in the second form.

1.The Name of the action should be self-explanatory, for instance Save customer record. Select Subscribe from the Type drop-down list. To conclude your entries, click on the Save button.
2.The OpenEMM will now display the subscribe command as a first step of the new action, together with fields for further options. Do not check Use double opt-in for the time being. The next section will give a more detailed explanation of that topic. You should, however, activate Check for duplicate records by checking the check box. This will prevent duplicate entries in your database. This option is explained in greater detail in chapter "Creating a new action".
3.This concludes entries for the action in question.
