How to use double opt in with OptiMonk campaigns

Sendinblue provides you two options to handle double opt-in subscriptions:

• create custom subscription forms within the app with double opt-in,
• set up automations for double opt-in email confirmation.

Since in this case, forms are created in OptiMonk, you’ll have to trigger a marketing automation to create a double opt-in subscription. Brevo has a great video on how to create double opt-in automation:
