Just put a link to the MyAccount page at the bottom. Customer willing to unsubscribe the news letter can then update their communication preferences in that page.

Code: Select all

<a href="${store.StoreUrl}Members/MyAccount.aspx">Unsubscribe</a>

Found this in another thread, I personally like this solution better.

Code: Select all

Nobody likes unwanted email.&nbsp; If you would like to be instantly removed from our mailing list, just click <a href="${store.StoreUrl}Subscription.aspx?action=remove&list=${list.EmailListId}&email=${customer.email}">here</a> and we'll process your request immediately.

Hi,
I tried the last solution suggested for the opt-out link but the subscription page showed this error message:
"The subscription request was not understood or the provided parameters are incorrect. " the url created was this:
"http://store.samplestore.com/Subscripti ... @email.com"

Try following

Code: Select all

<a href="${store.StoreUrl}Subscription.aspx?action=remove&list=${list.EmailListId}&email=${customer.Email}">here</a>

Hi,
I gave that a try but I still see the same error when I click on the link and it created the same url:
The subscription request was not understood or the provided parameters are incorrect. " the url created was this:
"http://store.samplestore.com/Subscripti ... @email.com"

Can you provide the name of Email template you are using in this case ?

In 7.0.5 there is a new nVelocity script variable that builds the complete unsubscribe URL for you so you don't have to construct it manually.

Just put this at the bottom of the your message....

Code: Select all

$unsubscribeLink

or

Code: Select all

${unsubscribeLink}

Hi, I put that in the email body, yes? It does not produce a link, just shows that text. In reference to the prior question, what template, this is just a basic contact email for marketing purposes. Do I need to update something else so my system knows that new script variable exists?

AbleMods · Post by **AbleMods** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 2:19 pm

What version of AbleCommerce are you running? The unsubscribe variable is only available in 7.0.5. Otherwise you have to build one manually.

Plus, I had to edit the subscribe user control to let the manual link work but that may have been because I'm on 7.0.5.

foodsleuth · Post by **foodsleuth** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:20 am

I'm on 7.5 as well. I'm not a programmer but if you could briefly describe how/where to edit the subscribe user control? Thanks!

AbleMods · Post by **AbleMods** » Thu Sep 09, 2010 9:55 am

I didn't have to make any changes to get the link to show. Let's start there.

Copy/paste your whole email template to here and let's take a look at it together.

Well if you are on 7.0.5 then it should work. locate following code statement in your template

Code: Select all

<p>${unsubscribeLink}</p>

and update it as below

Code: Select all

<p><a href="${unsubscribeLink}">${unsubscribeLink}</a></p>

foodsleuth · Post by **foodsleuth** » Sat Sep 25, 2010 8:12 am

That's strange. It should work in 7.0.5. BTW give a try by creating an Email list of type with confirmation. Then subscribe that Email list using some account with valid Email address. After subscription system will trigger a notification to your Email address confirm that this Email contains unsubscribe link.

plugables · Post by **plugables** » Wed Sep 29, 2010 8:07 am

Make sure that the email template is set to be triggered on a subscribe/unsubscribe event. If email is being triggered for some other even then these links will not be available.
