Unsubscribe tab

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 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 Mailing ID, so Aurea List Manager can record which mailing prompted the user to unsubscribe.

Recipients who click on this link are sent to a Aurea List Manager Destination URL after unsubscribing. This wizard creates a URL that can direct recipients to your destination URL.

Refer to the table below for more information regarding the options available under Unsubscribe tab:

Field Name Description
Insert What (HTML Body Only)

This is used to specify what kind of unsubscribe link you want to insert into your HTML body:

  • Linked Text:

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

  • Linked Graphic:

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

  • URL:

An unencoded Unsubscribe URL is 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 is an unencoded URL.
Email Notification
  • If set to Yes, which is the default, those who unsubscribe receive an email notifying them whether or not they have unsubscribed successfully. If set to No, they do not receive this notification.
  • You may customize the goodbye message Aurea List Manager 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, which is the default, clicking on the Unsubscribe URL unsubscribes the member from just the current list. If set to Yes, clicking on the URL unsubscribes the member from all lists on the server.

Confirm
  • If set to Yes, those who click on the Unsubscribe URL receive an email message asking them to confirm that they like to unsubscribe. Otherwise, they are 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 Aurea List Manager 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 Webpage

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

The URL members are taken to after clicking on the unsubscribe URL. If no URL is specified, they are taken to a generic Aurea List Manager page telling them they have unsubscribed.
Append unsubscribe information to the Destination URL

This option passes 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.

For example:

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