Unsubscribing Through Lists

You can manually unsubscribe a list of contacts from receiving emails.

Important: You will no longer be able to send bulk or automated emails to these individuals from the Lead Gen & CRM application while unsubscribed.

To unsubscribe contact lists, do the following:

1. Click Lists in the left toolbar.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the name of the desired list.
   
   
   
   
3. Click    Options.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the     Options menu and click Unsubscribe Contacts in List.
   
   
   

   Note: The options displayed in this image apply to manual lists. Options vary for rules-based lists. However, Clear Unsubscribes from List is available for both manual and rules-based lists.
   
   

5. Type Unsubscribe in the pop-up window that appears.
6. Click Unsubscribe.
   
   
    

This will also unsubscribe a list's removed and excluded members. There are two ways to confirm you have successfully unsubscribed the lead:

• You will receive a notification in Lead Gen & CRM stating the following: 
  List unsubscribe successful.
• All contacts will be removed from the Members tab and moved to the Exclusions tab. A red Unsubscribed tag will be to the immediate left of the contact's email.
