# Identify Prospects Who Confirmed Their Opt-In

To identify whether a prospect has confirmed their subscription, create a custom prospect field in Account Engagement. This field doesn’t need to sync with Salesforce.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <span>All Account Engagement Editions</span></td></tr></tbody></table>

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small permission">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:50%">
          <col style="width:50%">
        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">
          <tr class="">
            <th scope="colgroup" class="slds-cell-wrap" colspan="2" style="text-align:center;vertical-align:top;" id="d77279e59">User Permissions Needed</th>
          </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
          <tr class="">
            <td data-label="User Permissions Needed" class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d77279e59 ">To create custom fields</td>

            <td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;" headers="d77279e59 ">
              <span>Account Engagement Administrator role</span>
            </td>

          </tr>
        </tbody>
      </table>

1. Open the Prospect Fields page.
    - In Account Engagement, select **Admin** | **Configure Fields** | **Prospect Fields**.
    - In the Lightning app, select **Account Engagement Settings** | **Object and Field Configuration** | **Prospect Fields**.
2. Click **\+ Add Custom Field**.
3. Enter **Confirmed Opt-In** for the field name.
4. For the field type, select **Checkbox**, and then select the option to use predefined values for the checkboxes.
5. Enter a value to indicate confirmation, such as True. To sync with Salesforce, you must add another value, such as False.
6. Click **Create Custom Field**.

Next, create a form handler with a completion action that updates the custom prospect field you created each time someone confirms their subscription.
