Note!

The Send Opt-In Email button can be used if your email is currently hosted by Sencia Canada Ltd. This button works if you currently have a mailing list set-up in our system and created a new list in the
Email OptIn module with the same name. An email will be sent to all addresses on that mailing list. This may not function properly if you don’t have your email hosted with us. Please contact Sencia Support at 807-768-6603 for more information regarding this feature.
