Creating new actions
Now that the mailing is ready, you must create three actions for registering and conforming the registration. The registering action follows the same structure as that explained for registering in chapter "Creating a form to enter data". All three actions should have the Only for forms option activated. This will make action management easier once you have a lot of actions to manage.
1. | Create a new action named Double opt-in: Subscription (or words to that effect). The name should above all be meaningful. Check the Use double opt-in check box. |

Fig. 8.13: This action saves the new subscriber’s data in the database, but marks them as blocked.
2. | The second action triggers the action-based mailing. Create a new action named Double opt-in: send email. Select Send actionbased mailing as the Type. Click on Save to store the data in OpenEMM. |
3. | In the Steps section, select the Double: Confirmation mailing you defined earlier from the drop-down list. Click on Save to conclude your action. |
4. | The third action is the double opt-in confirmation. Create a new action named Double opt-in: Confirmation. Select Double opt-in confirmation as the action type. Click on Save to store your entries. This concludes entries for the actions in question. |
