Implementing unsubscribing
The unsubscribe Web page allows a user to unsubscribe from a Mailing.
You can implement unsubscribing of a Contact in several places:
- Somewhere on your Web site add an "Unsubscribe" link which directs users to a page where they can unsubscribe.
- Include a link to this Web page in all e-mail messages that Audience Manager sends to the user.
A visitor or e-mail recipient can use this link to reach the login screen for unsubscribing. The visitor or e-mail recipient then typically fills in a password and submits this information to unsubscribe.
Implement or customize unsubscription as follows:
- For ASP.NET Web sites—modify or customize the
unsubscribe.aspxand theunsubscribe.aspx.cspages and deploy them on your Web site - For JSP Web sites—modify or customize the
unsubscribe.jsppage and deploy it on your Web site
Add code to your Page Templates to insert unsubscription links in E-mails using the Modular Templating Framework.
Create a link in an e-mail to a unsubscription page as follows:
- Add an
AudienceManager_UnsubscribeURLmethod to the Dreamweaver Template, used in your Page Template Building Block, to create a link to the Web page in which a subscriber can unsubscribe. For example:<a href="@@AudienceManager_UnsubscribeURL@@">Click here to unsubscribe</a> - Define a query string in the Unsubscribe Query String parameter of the Add Subscription URLs to Package Template Building Block, so that you can add this query string to the Unsubscribe Page URL. The Unsubscribe page URL is the URL of the Web page in which a subscriber can cancel their subscription and is defined in the Audience Management tab of a Publication's properties.
