Did you know it’s easy to give your users Unsubscribe and Manage Preferences links in your outbound emails?

This can be accomplished using two new macros available with the Istanbul release:

  • ${NOTIF_UNSUB}
  • ${NOTIF_PREFS}

To use these macros, simply place them in the body of your notification or Email Layout.

What Users See

Here’s an example of what users will see.

Clicking Unsubscribe

Clicking Unsubscribe launches the user’s default email client and pre-populates the email with the information needed to unsubscribe. Here’s a screenshot of what this looks like in my email client:

Clicking Email Preferences

Clicking Email Preferences takes the user directly to the Notification Preferences UI and pre-filters the list of notifications.
