Option to send confirmation e-mail for imported list and auto-triggering welcome emails for imported list

Option to send a confirmation e-mail automatically (or trigger welcome emails already set up) when new e-mails are imported or manually added to a list. Having to ask them to resubscribe from scratch almost immediately after they already opted in (or potentially double opted-in) from a program MailPoet isn't integrated with just because we can't send a confirmation email is very much not ideal. Having to use the current workaround (import them into a list and send a newsletter manually before then manually moving them to the original list we want them on) is an incredibly time-consuming task that has to be repeated constantly as new subscribers sign up for the list with whatever program you're using that MailPoet doesn't integrate with (e.g. kingsumo, bookfunnel).

And also triggering automations please :D

Is this option still not possible in 2023? How can I send double opt-in to multiple new entries?

Why Can’t Imported Subscribers Receive Welcome Emails?

In a future update, please can you add the feature where bulk imported subscribers can receive welcome emails?
I am a new user migrating from another email marketing service. I had to manually add 271 subscribers one by one into my MailPoet list, as this is the only way they will be able to receive the welcome emails I have set up. This was really cumbersome.
The workaround you gave in your support knowledge base was not helpful.

Many marketing plug-ins don't work directly with MailPoet, but they all work with Mail Chimp, so I aggregate new subscribers via Mail Chimp then import them back into MailPoet. MailPoet used to support sending welcome emails on new import, but, the MailPoet corporation, being perpetually afraid of spammers, stopped allowing it. There are many use cases that support the feature that don't involve spammers, but they don't seem to accept them. Probably the EU rules make it too dangerous.

When ever I import new subscribers I add them to an "Imported on YYYY MM DD" list as well as the Newsletter list. This way I can send a newsletter to the people I just imported. But it would be MUCH EASIER if I could toggle sending the Welcome Email to imports!

If I recall, you used to be able to do this. It really helped us to build our lists using other methods that didn’t integrate with MailPoet. I’d also like to be able to re-trigger the confirmation emails for multiple emails. I have a lot that have never confirmed.

Just to clarify, the goal for this feature request is to give us the option when we import a list to i) just trigger welcome e-mails, ii) just send a confirmation email, iii) send both a confirmation email and trigger welcome emails, or iv) do nothing (as mailpoet is currently set up to do automatically). I'm not trying to get rid of the ability to import a list without triggering welcome emails/sending a confirmation email (since this is obviously needed for lists with old subscribers). Just hoping to get the option to choose to trigger welcome emails when we import a specific list of brand new subscribers (e.g. from a giveaway app like kingsumo or book download places like bookfunnel). That way we don't have to manually set up our welcome drip sequences (which can be several emails spread out over weeks) all over again each day when we import that day's new subscribers. (If you're having a successful giveaway campaign, you could have to do this every day for a month which is a huge time sink.) Similarly, having the option to choose to send a confirmation email for specific lists we import gives us the ability to utilize programs that aren't integrated with mailpoet even if that program isn't set up for double opt-in. If we can choose to send a confirmation email on import in MailPoet, we can still guarantee that we only e-mail those who double opt-in by clicking on the confirmation email we send from MailPoet.
