Calling up the registration form
Calling up the form works like in a normal subscription process. It is done with the following link:
http://company.openemm.org/form.do?agnCI=1&agnFN=DoubleSubscribe
Your company ID is 1. The parameter agnFN= is followed by the name of the form, in our example it is Subscribe.
Fig. 8.15: The form for entering new subscriber data.
To start with, the new subscriber fills in the form with personal data. Clicking on Submit sends the data to the subscriber database of OpenEMM. However, the data is blocked. No mailings will be sent to the new subscriber, even if a subscription to a mailing list was effected. Calling up the details for the new subscriber by clicking that subscriber’s email address in the Recipients section and the Overview sub-menu shows that subscriber’s status as waiting for confirmation.
Fig. 8.16: The new subscriber is blocked in the database until a subscription confirmation is received because the subscriber has double-clicked the confirmation link in the email.
Data in the OpenEMM database will be unblocked as soon as the new subscriber reacts to the confirmation e-mail and clicks a link. If this does not happen, the blocked entry will be deleted from the OpenEMM database after three months.
