Creating confirmed subscribers with the API

I’m using the Formidable Forms API to connect with the Newsletter API (v2) to create subscribers when people register for an account on my site. My understanding from the Newsletter API documentation had been that the default setting for subscribers created this way would be “confirmed.”

However, the subscribers which were created all had the status “not confirmed.” That was the case whether I set the Formidable Forms API not to send a status at all, or to explicitly send a status of “confirmed.” Is this the expected behavior?

I then wondered whether the issue had something to do with having “double opt-in” activated in the Newsletter settings. I changed that setting to “single opt-in.” After that, the subscribers were created with a “confirmed” status.

Is there any way to keep “double opt-in” activated, but have the API create confirmed subscribers? Email addresses are already being verified during the user registration process so there’s no need for Newsletter to duplicate that process.

Thanks,
Kevin
