After confirming a registration (or directly after submitting a single opt-in form), you can automatically send your new subscribers one or more emails, for example a welcome email. To do this, click in the list of your forms on Add email

In contrast to creating a newsletter, there is no need to select the recipient list because the email is automatically sent to all new subscribers who register using the corresponding form.

The main difference to sending newsletters is the sending date: instead of a specific date, the time at which the email is to be sent after registration is specified. This can be either immediately after confirmation of the registration or a few (or many) days later.

It is also possible to wait until a certain day of the week or a certain day of the month before sending the message (e.g. until Tuesday, or until the 5th day of the month).
