Anyone who submitted the form will be emailed to confirm their email address. They must click the link in the confirmation email before appearing in your CRM. You should select a template that contains the placeholder **%recipient.confirm\_link%** for the confirmation link. Otherwise, the double opt-in functionality will not work. Here's how you can do that: 1. Go to **Email Marketing** section and access the **Email Templates** 2. Choose a standard campaign template and click to edit 3. Select the text where you want to insert the confirmation link and click the **Link** tool ![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-11-21-3697-PM.png?width=676&height=224&name=image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-11-21-3697-PM.png) 4. In the opened window, insert **%recipient.confirm\_link%** placeholder in the URL field and click **Save** ![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-13-04-4829-PM.png?width=688&height=449&name=image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-13-04-4829-PM.png) To include the confirmation link for a button, simply drag and drop the **button** block onto the template and insert the placeholder link.![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-18-53-5776-PM.png?width=688&height=324&name=image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-18-53-5776-PM.png)   ![](https://help.joomag.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-20-54-9599-PM.png?width=688&height=900&name=image-png-Jul-03-2024-01-20-54-9599-PM.png) Done!
