Unsubscribing from a list

On this page:

You can add an unsubscribe link by adding an {{ unsubscribeUrl }} placeholder to the HTML of your campaign.

When a subscriber visits the actual unsubscribe URL, a simple message will be displayed to confirming that they have successfully unsubscribed.

To customize this confirmation message, publish the views.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Mailcoach\MailcoachServiceProvider" --tag="mailcoach-views"

Now we modify the following views in the /resources/views/vendor/mailcoach/landingPages/ directory:

Unsubscribing manually

You can also unsubscribe someone manually like this.

$emailList->unsubscribe('john@example.com');

Alternatively, you can call unsubscribe on a subscriber

Subscriber::findForEmail('john@example.com', $emailList)->unsubscribe();

Emails sent have the List-Unsubscribe header included. This allows for users to unsubscribe from their email client as per RFC2369.

Behind the scenes, the subscriber won’t be deleted. Instead, the status of the subscription will be updated to unsubscribed.

If you want to delete the subscription/subscriber entirely, you can call delete on it.

Subscriber::findForEmail('john@example.com', $emailList)->delete();

The code above will also delete all related subscriptions.
