Your contacts must be able to unsubscribe/opt out of receiving marketing emails.

You can set the email_is_transactional field when sending an email to specify its type. If a contact has unsubscribed, and the email_is_transactional attribute is set to false, the contact will not receive the email.

Open enables opting out contacts in two ways:

  • An API for generating links that your contacts can click to unsubscribe
  • An API for unsubscribing contacts from within your apps

You can call this endpoint to generate a link that you can put in the body of any email, or anywhere in your application. You can generate this link using the contact’s email, or their contact ID.

Unsubscribe via API call from your apps

In case you want your contacts to unsubscribe in a way other than clicking a link and being redirected to Open, you can directly call this endpoint to mark a contact as unsubscribed from all email.
