Automatically delete non-confirmed subscribers

If you’ve enabled double opt-in, you can set up an automation rule that automatically deletes any subscriber who does not confirm their email address after a certain period.

To do this:-

First, open your admin dashboard and then click on Noptin > Automation Rules to open the automation rules overview page.

Next, click the “Add New Automation” button and select Subscriber > Created as the trigger…

… and Subscriber > Delete as the action.

Set subscriber deleted as the action

Next, add a conditional logic rule that checks if the subscriber’s status is pending.

Finally, set the delay in seconds.

For example, you can set 3600 to check after 1 hour or 86400 to check after a day.

Save your changes once you’re done.

Thats all.
