Double Opt-In

    Hi, we're using the Gravity Form and built it up on our page, with following field:

    Text Field:
    - Name
    - E-Mail

    Checkbox:
    - Want to receive Newsletter
    - I allow you to send my E-Mail to your partners

    Now, if people make their choise to receive E-Mails from us or allows us, to send his E-Mail adress to our partners, we need a double opt-in. We dont want to use the MailChimp.

    If the form sends an email to the person, we want to generate a registration link, maybe like this:
    "Please click the confirmation link:
    http://www.yourdomain.com/?id="{email}+{name}..."

    After clicking this, this person with that name and e-mail must be registered to newsletter list, maybe via PHP script on the confirmation page.

    Is that possible?
    Anyone has solved the double opt-in in anyway?

    Thx for answering!

    Gravity Forms doesn't have its own newsletter system and as such there currently wouldn't be an easy way to do a double opt-in. You could custom code something to change a value set on an entry but that wouldn't integrate directly with any newsletter systems that I know of. You'll need a bit of custom coding no matter what route you take, and it will be dependent more on what newsletter system that you go with.
