What are unsubscribed Contacts & Outlets?

Email communications you send from Vuelio will automatically include links to allow the recipient to opt-out or 'unsubscribe' from further emails.

Under GDPR and similar data protection regulations, email recipients who unsubscribe cannot be re-subscribed without their explicit and voluntary consent.

Contacts and Outlets that have chosen to unsubscribe will remain within your system and any Groups they belong to, but any new emails you try to send them from Vuelio will be automatically blocked.

Search filters and labels will allow you to quickly view records that are no longer contactable or simply exclude them from your search results.

How do I manually unsubscribe someone from my releases?

Contacts or Outlets must choose to unsubscribe themselves from your communications by clicking the link at the bottom of any emails or press releases you have sent out from Vuelio.

You can manually unsubscribe a contact by visiting their profile and selecting Actions then select 'Forget Contact' >

This will then allow you to provide details of why >

How do I re-subscribe a previously Unsubscribed contact?

If you require an unsubscribed contact to be subscribed again, you will be required to forward an email from them, confirming their wish to be re-subscribed to your lists. Please forward this to [email protected]
