Manual Email Unsubscribe

  • Dark
    Light

Article Summary

There will be times when people no longer wish to receive your communications. This calls for an Unsubscribe process.

When the infoodle Unsubscribe settings are enabled for an email, infoodle will automatically generate two links at the bottom of the email: Unsubscribe and Email Preferences.
For information on these links see Unsubscribe and Email Preferences.

If you don't wish to use the infoodle generated Unsubscribe links, you can still handle things via an infoodle Form.

For Manual Management of the Unsubscribe Process, we recommend the following steps:

  1. Create a Form in infoodle that people will be directed to. Using the Forms feature in infoodle, create a form which looks something like the following:

  2. In the Form Settings, make sure the form is active, and you notify someone (or a group) in your organisation when the form has been completed. These will be the people who will action the request.

  3. Save the form, and on the Publish tab - copy the link.

  1. Use the link in your emails. Somewhere in the email content you are sending out - you need to include a link back to the unsubscribe form you have just created.

Note:

The Email Designer will automatically enable the infoodle Unsubscribe by default. If you wish to overide this with your own link then the visible text of the link must contain the word Unsubscribe.

  1. You will receive an email alerting you when someone has unsubscribed. This gives you the option to follow up if necessary.
  2. Manually ensure that the person is unsubscribed from the specific mailings or the community as a whole.
