I tried this plug-in as I needed a simple double opt-in form and was already using wpcf7 for other forms.Configuration was easy and the plug-in packs everything I needed and more. It did not work at first, so I contacted the customer support and did not expect much.To my surprise, they replied within hours, checked my configuration, confirmed everything was right, took a backup of my website to investigate the issue and then sent me a fix (which had to do with a change in wpcf7’s checkbox validation through an update). All of that within a day.This is customer support at its best! The amount of effort that went into fixing my problem and the fast replies were exceptional. Thank you Marc Wagner and Forge12!

After some trial and then error with other more sophisticated plug-ins, I was delighted to find this simple one does exactly what it says. It’s not trying to be fancy and it integrates perfectly with Contact Form 7. I now have a simple email newsletter sign-up form with double opt-in. Once the user confirms their email address via the opt-in email request, the Contact Form 7 plug-in sends me an email with their address, and sends the subscriber a thank-you email.

Plugin is simple and working very good with contact form 7. I had a try with an avada form first and it didn’t work but I contacted the support team and they replied and updated the plugin very quickly. I suppose it’s working now with avada too.
