    Forms: Possible idea for double opt in

    Hi!

    I would like to know, if my idea of a double opt-in newsletter sign up workflow in Umbraco Forms would work:

    1. After submitting his/her email address the user will receive an email through the regular forms workflow. The email contains a link with his/her entry's Unique ID as a URL parameter.
    2. When clicking this link with Unique ID the person is directed to a page, which can read and display the form entry based on the Unique ID. This page holds another form with the user's email address and a confirmation button. The field with the user's email address would be either hidden or write protected in order to avoid someone to sign up other than his own email adresses.
    3. After confirming we would receive an email stating of a newsletter signup.

    We run a contact database, so the step from the submission to the user actually being signed up would still be manual.

    My questions would be:

    • Would that work?
    • How would be the code to get form entries based on Unique ID? Because this I couldn't figure out...

    Thank you! Simeon
