Moving Unsubscribe Links in Emails

Article Contents

• Moving the Unsubscribe Link and Address
• Confirming the Unsubscribe Address
• Customizing Unsubscribe Link Text

When adding unsubscribe links, be aware that these links are not included in smart mails, since they only apply to bulk and commercial messages. To accommodate this, SharpSpring offers both as merge variables, and these merge variables can be placed anywhere within the email. To move the unsubscribe link and address, do the following:

1. In the top toolbar in SharpSpring, click 
   Content > Emails.
2. Create or edit an email.
3. Double-click the text of the email or click the
    Edit Block icon.
4. In the Content Editor toolbar, click
   Merge > Unsubscribe Fields.
5. Click both the Unsubscribe Address and Unsubscribe Link fields.
6. Click Save. 

Once placed, the unsubscribe fields can be highlighted, copied, and pasted wherever you deem necessary.

After adding the unsubscribe link and address, you can review them in the finalized email by sending the email to a test list that includes your email address.
