Providing recipients with the power to unsubscribe from mailing lists is not only a smart business
|

practice, it's often a legal requirement. By allowing recipients to unsubscribe from a mailing list
|

establishes a sense of trust with an audience, and helps companies appear genuine (and not spammy).
|
||||
practice, it's often a legal requirement. Allowing recipients to unsubscribe from a mailing list
|
||||
establishes a sense of trust and control with an audience. It also helps companies appear more
|
||||
genuine, and less *spammy*.
|
||||
|
||||
Enable the Blacklist feature
|
||||
============================
|
||||
Unsubscribe and blacklist
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
|
||||
First, the *Blacklist* feature must be enabled. To do that, navigate to :menuselection:`Email
|
||||
Marketing app --> Configuration --> Settings`, enable to :guilabel:`Blacklist Options when
|
||||
Unsubscribing`, and click :guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
In addition to having the option to unsubscribe from specific mailing lists, the recipient can also
|
||||
*blacklist* themselves during the unsubscription process, meaning they will not receive *any* more
|
||||
marketing emails from the Odoo database.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to provide recipients with the ability to blacklist themselves, a specific feature **must**
|
||||
be enabled in the *Email Marketing* application.
|
||||
|
||||
Navigate to :menuselection:`Email Marketing app --> Configuration --> Settings`, and tick the
|
||||
checkbox next to the :guilabel:`Blacklist Option when Unsubscribing` feature. Then, click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Save` in the upper-left corner of the :guilabel:`Settings` page.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
With that feature activated, an *Unsubscribe* link appears in mailings. If a recipient clicks that
|
||||
link, Odoo reveals a :guilabel:`Unsubscriptions` page, where they can directly manage their
|
||||
subscriptions.
|
||||
Unsubscribe
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
By default, an *Unsubscribe* link appears at the bottom of all mailing templates.
|
||||
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
The *Unsubscribe* link does **not** appear by default if the *Start From Scratch* template is
|
||||
used to create a mailing. The user **must** manually add the specific unsubscribe link
|
||||
`/unsubscribe_from_list` in the body of the email, or use a block from the *Footers* section of
|
||||
the email builder, which includes the unsubscribe link.
|
||||
|
||||
If a recipient clicks the *Unsubscribe* link in a mailing, Odoo instantly unsubscribes them from the
|
||||
mailing list, presents them with a :guilabel:`Mailing Subscriptions` page where they can directly
|
||||
manage their subscriptions, and informs them that they've been :guilabel:`Successfully
|
||||
Unsubscribed`.

||||

:align: center

||||
:alt: The Mailng Subscriptions page that appears when 'Unsubscribe' link in mailing is clicked.
|
||||
|
||||
Beneath that, Odoo asks the former subscriber to :guilabel:`Please let us know why you updated your
|
||||
subscription`, and the user can proceed to choose the appropriate opt-out reason from a series of
|
||||
options presented to them.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
With a test mailing, clicking the :guilabel:`Unsubscribe` link reveals an error page (*error 403
|
||||
- Access Denied*). To make sure the link is working properly, create the mailing, and only send
|
||||
it to a personal email.
|
||||
The opt-out answer options can be created and modified by navigating to :menuselection:`Email
|
||||
Marketing app --> Configuration --> Optout Reasons`.
|
||||
|
||||
Once they've chosen the appropriate opt-out reason from the options presented to them, they can
|
||||
click the :guilabel:`Send` button. Odoo then logs their reasoning for unsubscribing in the *Email
|
||||
Marketing* app for future analysis.
|
||||
|
||||
Blacklist
|
||||
=========
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to having the option to *Unsubscribe* from specific mailing lists, the recipient can
|
||||
also *Blacklist* themselves, meaning they will not receive *any* more emails.
|
||||
For a recipient to remove (i.e. blacklist) themselves from **all** marketing emails during the
|
||||
unsubscription process, on the :guilabel:`Mailing Subscriptions` page, they must click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Exclude Me`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
The mailing list has to be configured as *Public* in order to be visible for users.
|
||||
Upon clicking :guilabel:`Exclude Me`, Odoo informs the recipient they have been successfully
|
||||
blacklisted, with a message reading: :guilabel:`✔️ Email added to our blocklist`.
|
||||
|
||||
To view a complete collection of blacklisted email addresses, navigate to :menuselection:`Email

|
||||
added to our blocklist`, and the user can proceed to choose the appropriate reason from a series of
|
||||
options presented to them.
|
||||
|
||||
Once they've chosen the appropriate reason from the options presented to them, they can click the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Send` button. Odoo then logs their reasoning for blacklisting themselves in the *Email
|
||||
Marketing* app for future analysis.
