Unsubscribe Forms

Unsubscribe forms are web pages that users land on after clicking the Unsubscribe link in an email.

Benefits of Using Unsubscribe Forms

  • Protecting the sender’s reputation: The form allows you to end the communication neatly, leaving the user with a positive impression of the brand.
  • The ability to save the contact: Instead of an instant unsubscribe, you can offer an alternative, for example, a thirty-day pause or changing subscription categories.
  • Analytics of reasons for unsubscribing: Contacts can indicate the reason for unsubscribing, allowing you to improve content and communication in the future.
  • Flexible brand experience: The ability to customize the form allows you to design it according to your design, style, and user language.

Unsubscribe forms are available upon request. Please contact us at [email protected] to activate the functionality for your account.

Form Types

  1. Double Opt-Out Form: The contact first sees a page with the option to leave a comment and choose a reason for unsubscribing. The final unsubscription occurs after confirmation.

  • Successful unsubscribtion
  1. Opt-Out Form: The contact is immediately unsubscribed but can leave feedback, after which they will be offered the options to subscribe again now or in 30 days.

Changing Basic Settings

After activation, the default forms are ready to use. In most cases, you don't need to create them from scratch — just make a few basic changes:

  • Replace the default image with your logo.
  • Add your own text and language versions of the form.
  • Adapt the colors of the buttons and texts to your brand palette.

Note

All basic changes can be implemented without deep technical knowledge. This is safe, and the form's functionality will not be affected.

If you make more profound changes to the code, you risk breaking the form — for example, the unsubscribe may not be recorded, but the contact will remain active in the mailing list. Therefore, deep customization should only be done with the appropriate technical knowledge or with the help of a developer.

  3. The language from the contact's profile.
  4. The default form language.

Setting CSS Styles

You can customize the CSS styles of your form in two ways:

  1. Upload the CSS file and add a link to it on each form page.
  2. Add the CSS code directly to the HTML code of each form page.

Adding CSS styles is not required, but is recommended, as HTML without styles may not display correctly.
