In keeping with VR's attempt to do mini-awesome releases, here's another one for ya!
Opt-in Signup Alerts
You can now choose to receive periodic email alerts when someone signs up to your opt-in form. The alerts will be sent out based on the timezone in your profile and can be sent based on one of the following frequencies:
* Monthly (1st of the month)
* Bi-monthly (1st & 15th of the month)
* Weekly (every Sunday)
* Daily (every morning, shortly after midnight)
* Daily 4x (4 times daily - 8 AM, 12 PM, 4PM, 8 PM)
Why you need this: Now, as soon as someone signs up for your product, service or newsletter, you can email them with further information!
Customization of Confirmation Emails
You can now include copy above and/or below your link in confirmation emails that are sent to anyone who signs up to your opt-in form. In addition, the emails will be sent in HTML format for a much more professional look.
Why you need this: Cuz plain text does not excite a recipient to click!!!
Confirmation Link Redirect
Now you'll be able to specify a URL to direct your new registrants after they confirm they've signed up.
Why you need this: Now you can send them to your website or custom thank you webpage.
Cheers to Raj, Erik and the VR Product/Engineering team. Log into your VR account and check out the new features.
Hi everyone -
When you create a new form (or edit an existing one), you should click on the tab marked "Lists & Alerts". Midway down the page, you'll see "Opt-In Alerts".
We'll try to do a better job of pointing out new functionality in the future. Try it out and let us know what you think!

I also wish to add the Opt-In Signup Alerts to my existing Opt-In accounts but cannot find a link to this option?
