Newsletter sign up confirmation when store is password protected

[JoanneW]

I'm using a password protected 'coming soon' page to collect newsletter subscribers in the lead up to my website launch. To avoid bot sign ups I'm using 2 step confirmation whereby customers have to confirm their subscription via an email verify button. The issue is this just takes you back to the holding page and feels like an error, is there a way of either sending a second confirmation email or a 'thanks for signing up' page direct?

Thanks

Hey JoanneW,

To avoid that confusing experience after email confirmation, you can redirect subscribers to a custom "Thank You" page after they verify their subscription. Most email marketing platforms, like Klaviyo or Mailchimp, allow you to set up a custom confirmation page. This way, after they confirm their email, they’ll be taken to a "Thanks for signing up" page instead of returning to the holding page, giving them a clear message that the process was successful.
