Opt in for third-party list

Hi. I'm new to CC. I'm looking to import a third-party list for sending those people our client's newsletter. I understand your policies about first getting their opt-in. I thought I read in CC's help materials that an email can be sent out requesting that those people opt-in. Is that correct? Can you point me to instructions for sending such an email?

Hello @MarcF388 ,

 

Correct, this would be an automated function if the account importing the contacts has advanced email permissions turned on. Once turned on, the Confirm Opt-In email will be available for editing, and will send automatically to new sign-ups. If you're importing the contacts, you can still manually send the (re)Confirm Opt-In to them after the import, which will place them in Awaiting Confirmation permission status, until they've clicked the link in the Confirm Opt-In email.
