E‑mail / opt-in template parameters and configuration #

The double opt-in plugin offers various templates that can be used for the opt-in email. You can customize these templates according to your wishes.
The templates can be customized individually for each form. The settings are available to you in the respective configuration settings.
Attention
However, for the opt-in to work properly, it is necessary to include the parameter [doubleoptinlink]. This placeholder is automatically replaced by the opt-in link when the email is generated.
