# Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

1. Go to Email Marketing > Contacts > Mailing Lists.
2. Edit or create one.
3. Set a Welcome mail template to enable this module’s special behavior when somebody subscribes to this mailing list. You can use one shipped with this module, called Welcome mail to newsletter subscribers, as a starting point.
4. You can also customize this template as you prefer.

To be used, you also must make sure a subscription snippet for this list exists somewhere in your website:

1. Go to your website.
2. Navigate to a page where you want to include the subscription widget.
3. Edit the webpage.
4. Drag and drop any Structure or Features block you like.
5. Drag and drop the Inner content > Newsletter block inside it.
6. Choose the same mailing list you configured above.

Of course, outgoing mail must be properly configured in your instance, or emails will never be sent.

# Usage

After you have followed the configuration instructions:

1. Enter as an anonymous user (you can use a browser private window for that).
2. Navigate to the page where the newsletter subscription snippet is found.
3. Enter your email.
4. Hit Subscribe.
5. Check your inbox, you have new mail!
