Custom Un-subscribe Links/Forms

The easiest way to create an unsubscribe link is to use the %unsubscribe% token in the newsletter or email message. The link will be automatically created. You can easily customize the clickable text by using another unsubscribe token, %unsubscribelink%Click Here to Unsubscribe%

You can also create a form for people to unsubscribe. Maybe you want to include it with your subscription form.

Here's a sample unsubscribe url:

domain.com/scotmail/scotmail.mvc?a1=us2&gp=mailing_list_id&ea=some_email@domain.com

gp is the mailing list ID code

a1=us2 is simply a code to tell the system that this is an unsubscribe call

ea is the email address to unsubscribe

A super simple form for unsubscribing would be like this:
<form method="post" actions="http://www.some_domain.com/scotmail/scotmail.mvc">
Enter your email address to unsubscribe: <input type="text" name="ea">
<button type="submit">Unsubscribe!</button>
<input type="hidden" name="gp" value="1234556667">
</form>

Use the custom messages in the mailing list you're working with to customize error and success messages. You can create redirects in your custom messages that go to store pages to make it super easy for complete control.
