Unsubscribe links
Understand why including dynamic unsubscribe links is essential for compliance and deliverability
Sending emails without a clear unsubscribe option may lead to account suspension under our Acceptable Use Policy.
Overview
Every marketing or transactional email you send must include a way for recipients to opt out. This isn’t just about legal compliance—it’s a key part of your deliverability strategy and maintaining a healthy audience.
This guide explains why dynamic unsubscribe links are essential, and how they relate to practices like audience hygiene and domain warm-up.
Why unsubscribe links matter
Failing to include an unsubscribe link can result in:
- Emails marked as spam or phishing
- Poor deliverability rates
- Blacklisted domains or IP addresses
- Account suspension under Resend’s usage policy
Including a proper unsubscribe option builds trust with your recipients and protects your sender reputation.
How unsubscribe links help during domain warm-up
When warming up your domain or IP, your goal is to establish a strong sender reputation by gradually increasing your volume and avoiding spam complaints.
While unsubscribe links are not explicitly mentioned in warm-up schedules, they play a key role in:
- Keeping your spam rate below the recommended 0.08%
- Giving users a clear and respectful way to opt out
- Preventing harmful engagement patterns that damage reputation
This aligns with Resend’s recommendation to follow sustainable practices and avoid artificial engagement tactics.
For more details, see the official Warming Up Guide.
What is a dynamic unsubscribe link?
Masivo supports template variables like {{unsubscribe_link}}
, which are replaced at send time with a personalized unsubscribe URL for each recipient.
This ensures:
- Users can be safely and uniquely identified
- Unsubscribe requests are properly handled and tracked
- You stay compliant with anti-spam regulations like CAN-SPAM and GDPR
Never use a static or shared unsubscribe URL. Always insert {{unsubscribe_link}}
inside your email body to personalize the opt-out link for each recipient.
How to configure the unsubscribe link
To properly insert the unsubscribe link in your emails, follow these steps using the Masivo Email Builder.
1. Add the unsubscribe link to the footer
Use the footer editor to insert a new line with an unsubscribe link in both desktop and mobile versions.

2. Use the dynamic variable in the snippet
Edit the Unsubscribe component to include the dynamic variable. Make sure the snippet uses the dynamic placeholder:
{{global.unsubscribe}}
This ensures that each recipient gets a personalized unsubscribe URL.

The variable {{global.unsubscribe}}
must be present in your template for Masivo to track and honor unsubscribe requests correctly.
