Mailer Lite Double Opt In getting unconfirmed alert

Hi @amyvanliew 

Please post screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured, thanks.

Hi Troy!   

I didn’t explain this very well.   I know when they sign up for this free program (lead gen) I get their email address and they are added to a group that triggers an email automation sequence.   I do make them confirm their email (I was getting too much spam)

I created a zap to split their first and last name because a lot of people add both and I want to be able to just get their first name so I can personalize my emails.

After I enabled the double opt in I got the Zap Alert error I mentioned about.   

Here is my zap

This is the step to split their first and last name

 This is the step to update their info in MailerLite
 

I keep thinking through this and not sure what to do?   If I could just wait until they confirm?

Can you post a screenshot of the error you are getting from the Zap step?

I created a zap to split their first and last name because a lot of people add both and I want to be able to just get their first name so I can personalize my emails.

Beware that splitting a Full Name won’t always work, due to these conditions:

1. Prefix (e.g. Dr.)
2. Suffix (e.g. Jr.)
3. Multiple first names
4. Middle name(s)
5. Multiple last names

Oh I hadn’t thought of that…

Here is the alert

Check this help article from MailerLite: https://www.mailerlite.com/help/what-are-unconfirmed-subscribers

Unconfirmed subscribers are email addresses who sign up on a form with double opt-in enabled but haven’t confirmed their subscription to your newsletter yet.

Might be a false positive error.

You may want to add a Filter step and some other random Step to your Zap to avoid these false positive errors.

Thank you.    That’s the question...how to add that filter step?   I have no idea how to do that.
