Automations Unsubscribe Management

Introduction

The Automations Unsubscribe Management feature in ActiveCampaign enhances the user experience by providing a system for managing how subscribers can unsubscribe from automation sequences. With this feature, users can associate specific lists with their automations, thereby tailoring the unsubscription process to better meet the needs of their subscribers. This capability is crucial as it allows businesses to maintain a cleaner audience by effectively managing subscriber preferences, improving engagement rates, and ensuring compliance with email marketing regulations.

How to Access

To access the Automations Unsubscribe Management feature, log into your ActiveCampaign account. Navigate to the Automations section from the main dashboard. There, you will find options related to automations, including the management of unsubscribe settings.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to manage unsubscribes within your automations:
