Does my email have a One-Click List Unsubscribe link?

In compliance with Google and Yahoo's new unsubscribe requirements. Swift Digital is implementing the 'One-Click Unsubscribe' link for outgoing communications.

A One-Click Unsubscribe link will display for Mail House contacts, and if one or more Mail Groups were selected for the publication.

 

What is a One-Click Unsubscribe link? mceclip1.png

A One-Click 'List Unsubscribe' link can be seen in the inbox, next to the Sender Name when viewing an email. 

This Unsubscribe link or 'List-Unsubscribe' allows recipients to unsubscribe from the Mail Groups included for this publication. The One-Click unsubscribe link should not redirect the reader from their inbox/page.

 

This link is automatically generated by the recipients email client according to the 'List-Unsubscribe' information. Its appearance, placement and text cannot be edited.

The link may or may not be visible for some contacts, depending on the particular inbox settings / version / update requirements for the recipients email application.

 

What does clicking the List Unsubscribe link do?

The action performed is set at the Account level. 

Default:  Clicks to the List-Unsubscribe link will 'remove' the contact from all Mail Groups used when publishing the email

Global:  Clicks to the List-Unsubscribe link will Unsubscribe the contact from all communications, and place an Unsubscribe Stamp on their contact profile in the Mail House. 

If your Account regularly deletes and/or re-imports Mail Groups, please opt for the Global action for your account. 

Note: To change your Account settings from the Default action to the Global action, please contact your Account Manager.
