Content: Insert URL: Unsubscribe

You are here: Content > Creating New Content > Content: Insert URL > Content: Insert URL: Unsubscribe

Members can leave your list easily if you insert an Unsubscribe URL in your mailing. Giving members an easy way to unsubscribe cuts down on your administrative time unsubscribing people who'd like to leave your list.

To merge in an unsubscribe URL without a specified destination page or other options, you may use the tag %%url.unsub%%. This tag merges in a unique unsubscribe URL that includes the member's ID and the ID of the mailing, so ListManager can record which mailing prompted the user to unsubscribe.

Recipients who click on this link will be sent to a ListManager destination URL after unsubscribing. This wizard creates a URL that can direct recipients to your destination URL.

Insert What (HTML Body Only)

Specify what kind of unsubscribe link you'd like to insert into your HTML body:

Linked Text

The link will be encoded in HTML so that members will click on the word "unsubscribe" to leave the list.

Linked Graphic

The link will be encoded in HTML so that members will click on an unsubscribe graphic to leave the list.

URL

An unencoded unsubscribe URL will be inserted into your content. This is the only kind of unsubscribe URL that can be inserted into the text body.

This option is unavailable for the Text Body. If an unsubscribe URL is inserted into the text body, it will be an unencoded URL.

Email Notification

If set to Yes (default), those who unsubscribe will receive an email notifying them whether or not they have unsubscribed successfully. If set to No, they will not receive this notification.

You may customize the "goodbye" message ListManager sends members who have unsubscribed by creating a goodbye document in Utilities: Automated Messages: Document Content, and then selecting it in Utilities: Automated Messages: Document Associations.

From All Lists

If set to No (default), clicking on the unsubscribe URL will unsubscribe the member from just the current list. If set to Yes, clicking on the URL will unsubscribe the member from all lists on the server.

Confirm

If set to Yes, those who click on the unsubscribe URL will receive an email message asking them to confirm that they would like to unsubscribe. Otherwise, they will be unsubscribed immediately without email confirmation. By default, members are not asked to confirm via email before leaving the list.

You may customize the unsubscribe confirmation message ListManager sends by creating an unsubscribe confirmation document in Utilities: Automated Messages: Document Content, and then selecting it in Utilities: Automated Messages: Document Associations.

Show Confirming Web Page

If set to Yes, those who click on the unsubscribe URL will first be taken to a ListManager web page which will ask them if they are sure that they want to unsubscribe. If set to No, they will be unsubscribed immediately without confirmation.

Destination URL

The URL members will be taken to after clicking on the unsubscribe URL. If no URL is specified, they will be taken to a generic ListManager page telling them they have unsubscribed.

Append Unsubscribe Information to the Destination URL

This option will pass information about the unsubscribing member into the destination URL, potentially to be used by a script. The options are:

e = Email address.

id = Member id and character uniquely identifying this member.

l = Lists, separated by spaces.

c = Confirm unsubscribe via email. Options are (T)rue or (F)alse.

n = Send email notification of the unsubscribe. Options are (T)rue or (F)alse.

u = Destination URL after unsubscribing.

w = Show page asking unsubscribers to confirm before completing unsubscribe

a = Append unsubscribe information to destination URL. Options are (T)rue or (F)alse.

Example:

http://yourserver.example.com/u?id=%%memberidchar%%&o=%%outmail.messageid%%&u=http://example.com&n=T&c=F&l=%2A
