mass_mailing_custom_unsubscribe

Customizable unsubscription process on mass mailing emails

This addon extends the unsubscription form to let you:

• Choose which mailing lists are not cross-unsubscriptable when unsubscribing from a different one.
• Know why and when a contact has been subscribed or unsubscribed from a mass mailing.
• Provide proof on why you are sending mass mailings to a given contact, as required by the GDPR in Europe.
• Handle discrete unsubscriptions from other recipients that are not a mailing list. On standard module, unsubscriptions from these recipients directly include that mail on the general blacklist.

Configuration

You can customize what reasons will be displayed to your unsubscriptors when they are going to unsubscribe. To do it:

1. Go to Email Marketing > Configuration > Unsubscription Reasons.
2. Create / edit / remove / sort as usual.
3. If Details required is enabled, they will have to fill a text area to continue.

For having discrete unsubscriptions from other recipients than the mailing lists, you need to add a glue module that adds 2 fields in the associated model:

• opt_out.
• Either email or email_from.

See mass_mailing_custom_unsubscribe_event for an example.

Usage

Once configured:

1. Go to Email Marketing > Mailings > Create.
2. Edit your mass mailing at wish, but remember to add a snippet from Footers, so people have an Unsubscribe link.
3. Send it.
4. If somebody gets unsubscribed, you will see logs about that under Email Marketing > Unsubscriptions.

Known issues / Roadmap

• This module replaces AJAX submission core implementation from the mailing list management form, because it is impossible to extend it. When this is fixed, this addon will need a refactoring (mostly removing duplicated functionality and depending on it instead of replacing it).
