This article describes how people who receive your emails can manage their subscriptions to your list(s).
People who sign up to receive commercial messages from you can manage their subscriptions and consent in two ways:
- Clicking the one-click unsubscribe link at the top of an email they received from you. Learn more about Email list-unsubscribe.
- Clicking Unsubscribe or Edit your details in the footer of an email they received from you.
Every email sent from your account has a CAN-SPAM-compliant footer with a link to a subscription management page for your contacts to use.
On the subscription page
The subscription management page allows your contacts to:
- Change or remove the contact details they previously gave you
- Unsubscribe from any list or sequence they are subscribed to
- Fully revoke communication consent by clicking “Do not contact me again”
- Remove themselves from your account by clicking “Delete me from the database”
- Submit a spam complaint (after selecting ”Do not contact” or “delete me”)
These options allow you to stay in compliance with data privacy regulations and maintain good relationships with your contacts. If you send any kind of commercial marketing email, it’s important to allow recipients to manage their consent and for you to honor that consent.

Renewing consent and resubscribing
Deleted or Do Not Contact
A contact who previously requested “do not contact” or full deletion can be restored if they decide to renew their consent.
Contacts who submit any form from your account (such as opt-in, checkout, survey, etc) will be added back to your account with updated communication permissions based on the new form submission. Previously deleted leads are reactivated and previously blocked leads are cleared for commercial mailing.
