CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am trying to understand if I can somehow achieve the following:

1. I add a new contact to civicrm manually as an administrator
2. I somehow mark this person to be included in a specific mailing list but would want this process to trigger an opt-in email to be sent to the contact email to which user must respond to complete the sign-up

Is this somehow possible?

not that i know of - but there is a resubscribe token

no idea if it could be used as follows - add people to group, remove them from group, send them an email with the resub token - wild thinking but you never know.
