Introduction
This tutorial will show you how to setup sendy and how to connect to your sendy account.
Creating an Email List
After creating a sendy account, you can find your email lists on the left by clicking "View All Lists". On that page there is an option to add a list.

Options for lists include: ``` AccountDepartment BillingDepartment SupportDepartment Newsletter AccountUpdateNotify ForgotPassword ForgotUsername InvitationRequest PasswordResetConfirmation

Applying Custom Email Templates
After creating your list, you can edit your HTML template and other properties by going to {sendyBaseUrl}/autoresponders-edit?i=1&a={listId}&ae={listId}
When a confirmation email is sent to a user, you can check the user's confirmation status two different ways:
- In the list page on the sendy console, if a user has been unsubscribed, that means they've confirmed the welcome email.
- userStatus property in check token.
