Insert an unsubscribe link in your email to reduce spam issues – Documentation - Yet Another Mail Merge Support

Use our unsubscribe link and get the list of recipients who opted our to your newsletters. YAMM will record this information directly in the tracking tool.

info When people click on the unsubscribe link from your email, our tracker records this information on your spreadsheet. You can then remove those email addresses from your contact list to stop emailing them.

Activate the unsubscribe feature

1. Create your template and add the unsubscribe link

To add an unsubscribe link, simply insert the exact following link at the end of your template:

https://yet-another-mail-merge.com/unsubscribe

You can customize the message, as long as it contains this link.

For example, add something like: 'Click here to unsubscribe', as indicated in this draft below:

2. Activate the tracker and send your mail merge

You must now enable the tracker before sending your mail merge:

Then click 'Send xx emails'.

Side note about the unsubscribe feature status

If you have correctly inserted the unsubscribe link in your Gmail draft and activated the tracker, you'll see 'Enabled' on the advanced features panel '+ Alias, filters, personalized attachments...' ; if you forgot to activate the tracker, we will also warn you about it :

How can my recipients unsubscribe to my emails?

Once your recipients receive your email, they just need to click on your unsubscribe link.

They will be redirected to the web app, with the confirmation message 'Unsubscription was successful':

Manage easily your list of unsubscriptions

Each unsubscribe from your email campaign will be automatically added to your list of unsubscriptions. You can also manually add other recipients (or remove some) in the list.

Click the button below to manage your unsubscribe list:

Manage unsubscriptions

On your spreadsheet, our tracker will also record in real-time all the unsubscribes under the 'Merge status' column:

Unsubscribed tracker

For your next mail merges, if you forgot to remove the unsubscribes from your contact list, YAMM will warn you about this:

If you click 'OK' and choose to skip unsubscribes from your campaign, we will add a 0 next to them so that you don't email them again:

Why should I insert an unsubscribe link?

warning Yet Another Mail Merge is not an Email service provider (ESP) per say. It is an add-on that sends emails via your Google account. So it is your responsibility to add an unsubscribe link to your emails when needed. As a reminder, this is mandatory for newsletters. If your recipients are not able to opt-out from your list because you didn't add this link, then your email might be flagged as spam. Learn more: 'What is spam? How is your email marked as spam?'

Hi Alvaro,

Thank you! For the moment, this feature is only available in English. We'll see how we can improve the confirmation message so that it better fits your needs.
