Introduction
An unsubscribe link allows the recipient to easily and voluntarily remove themselves from the mailing list.
What is the purpose of the unsubscribe link?
The unsubscribe link allows a recipient to easily opt out of a mailing list (such as a newsletter or marketing emails).
It is mandatory in Europe (GDPR), the United States (CAN-SPAM Act), and many other countries to provide a simple way to unsubscribe. It allows you to:
- Reduce complaints: A clear unsubscribe link prevents users from marking the email as spam.
- Improve deliverability: ISPs (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) take unsubscribe and spam rates into account when deciding whether your emails should go to the inbox or the spam folder.
- Maintain a clean mailing list: it’s better to have someone unsubscribe than to have someone who never reads your emails or marks you as spam.
Best practice:
It is usually placed at the bottom of the email as a clickable link, sometimes accompanied by text such as: "If you no longer wish to receive our emails, you can unsubscribe here."

How do I set up an unsubscribe link in the Drag & Drop editor?
To do this, simply select your text and then add a link. A menu will appear, allowing you to select the desired link: a simple unsubscribe link for unsubscriptions managed by Numberly, or an external link for unsubscriptions managed by another service.
