Hi Drupal-fans,

I would like a user to confirm his e-mail-address so that I can use it for e-mail-marketing.

  • The user fills out a webform including his mail-address
  • he receives an e-mail with a confirmation link
  • after he clicks the link, his webform-result will receive a "flag", that says "e-mail-confirmed"

I tried http://drupal.org/project/webform_confirm_email, which only allows me to send mails from within the system. But I would like to use another mail-system.

To make it short: I'd like confirmed mail addresses to be flagged as confirmed.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm also interested in this. Please let us know if there is any Drupal option without having to subscribe to a 3rd party service.

Took me some time, but I managed to get this feature working. Might be definitivly better, if webform_confirm_email would implement this directly, thus I'll add a feature request there.

My workaround uses a hidden form element that stores the confirmation, and a rules-event that updates the form element.

And I patched webform_confirm_email to remove the useless abuse-link. If you are interested, I'll document my code.

Hi musikpirat,

I am interested in your code. Can you please provide it? I will agree with you that this should have been implemented in Webform Confirm Email.

Thanks
