What do you mean “what is everyone using”? I’d imagine most people are using the built-in [Email Confirmation Widget](https://help.infusionsoft.com/userguides/campaigns-and-broadcasts/campaign-sequence-guide/email-confirmation-sequence) in the campaign builder.

if you have any questions about that process, here’s a blog post that helps run over why this matters, how it works, and anything else you may want to know.

Oh, and here’s a gotcha to be aware of with the email confirmation process:

One of the things we’ve found helpful is to make the double opt in a text only email. The reasoning is that some servers will let text only pass to the inbox where other emails might not and with Googles “promotions” tab, it seems to be more accepting to the inbox if it’s text.
