Send Confirmation Email – Unchecked, Pointless

Hi,

This is an issue with the logic of ALL MailPoet integration plugins.

When “Send Confirmation Email” is unchecked, the subscriber is added to the list as “Unconfirmed.”

The problem here is that any sort of automation is broken/non-existent. If the subscriber does not receive a confirmation email, then they cannot be subscribed to the list and start receiving emails, such as any MailPoet “Welcome Emails.”

Instead, the logic needs to be – When “Send Confirmation Email” is unchecked, the subscriber is added to the list as “Subscribed.”

This is NOT a feature of the MailPoet API, however, which is why I believe SO many MailPoet integration plugin devs miss the functionality. This functionality needs to be added using the $wpdb global object https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/

Of course, this method is not GDPL compliant, but I’m almost positive that the intention of skipping the confirmation email in the settings initially took this into consideration.

Looking forward to an update.

Thanks!
