List-Unsubscribe Header
The List-Unsubscribe header is an optional email header you can add to your messages. It allows subscribers to see an unsubscribe button in the header section they can click if they would like to automatically stop receiving your email.
This option is only supported by some mailbox providers such as Gmail, Yahoo, iOS mail and Outlook.com
Notes:
- If the sender reputation is poor, the unsubscribe header may not be displayed in some email clients, even if it has been setup.
- The List-Unsubscribe feature does not work in test emails.
- Once a contact has clicked on the list-unsubscribe header, future emails coming from the same 'From Address' will not contain the list-unsubscribe link.
- Similar to bounces, the unsubscribe requests are processed by a scheduled job, so it may take up to one hour for the request to be processed as per the current configuration.
List-Unsubscribe feature can be used for the Emails for Campaign, Automation emails and Competition notification emails.
Select an option under the List-Unsubscribe Header section. See the below image for your reference.
- Off: If selected, the unsubscribe link won’t appear in your email header.

[LIST_NAME] etc…
Now, each of the above tags is able to receive a set of filters.
Filters are a simple way of transforming the tag in one way or another, for example you might want to embed a sharing link to twitter in your campaign, say the campaign url itself.
