A: What's up, Sumo-ling! Before we built SendFox for ourselves, we had recently used AWeber too for YEARS. We were sick of its crazy price and degrading performance, so we feel you on the transition.

To answer your question: Nope. Any contacts you import will NOT have to double opt-in. We assume you already have consent to email them, so legally, we wipe our hands clean.

The only contacts who will have to double opt-in are new contacts you get via forms, Smart Pages, or the API.

This is to help reduce the bots you have joining your list, plus double opt-in is basically a requirement for GDPR and these new California privacy laws, if you have any contacts in Europe or California. We've got your back! 💪
