7 Select a List. If you do not select a list your emails will not pass to MailChimp and be collected. If you see "-- Don't push to list --" Your emails will not pass.

8 Determine if you want to use Double-Opt or not. MailChimp, by default, requires your subscribers to confirm through an automated Email before being added. This is called Double-Opt and adds a step for your user. You can disable it by clicking on this button. If it is grey it is not Disabled.
