Hello there, Saleshandy users š
In this guide, youāll learn how to enable Unsubscribe in Email Header, so your emails show a native unsubscribe button in supported inboxes like Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
What Is āUnsubscribe in Email Headerā in Saleshandy?
When enabled, Saleshandy adds a List-Unsubscribe header to your outgoing emails.
This allows supported email providers to show a native āUnsubscribeā button at the top of the email.
Instead of marking your email as spam, recipients can unsubscribe directly using that built-in option.
Why Use Header Unsubscribe?
Header-based unsubscribe helps:
Improve deliverability
Reduce spam complaints
Provide a frictionless unsubscribe experience
Stay aligned with modern sender guidelines
If a recipientās email provider does not support header unsubscribe, Saleshandy automatically falls back to your selected unsubscribe method.
This is what it looks like:
How to Enable Unsubscribe in Email Header For Your Campaigns
Follow these steps in your Saleshandy dashboard:
Open your Sequence or Campaign
Go to Sequence / Campaign Settings
Locate the unsubscribe options
Enable the checkbox:
ā Unsubscribe in Email Header
You will also see existing options:
Unsubscribe as Text (default)
Unsubscribe as Link
Header unsubscribe works alongside these options.
How It Works
Once enabled:
Saleshandy automatically adds the required List-Unsubscribe headers to outgoing emails.
Supported inboxes display a native Unsubscribe button.
When a recipient clicks it, they are instantly unsubscribed.
No login or confirmation is required.
Optionally, a simple success confirmation page may be shown.
What Happens If Header Unsubscribe Is Not Supported?
Not all email clients support header-based unsubscribe.
If a recipientās inbox does not support it:
The selected fallback method applies automatically.
If you selected Text, reply-based unsubscribe will work.
If you selected Link, the email body unsubscribe link will work.
There will be no disruption in the unsubscribe process.
Text-based unsubscribe is the default fallback option.
What Gets Tracked
Saleshandy tracks how a contact unsubscribed:
Header
Link
Reply
This helps you understand where unsubscribe actions are coming from.
Important Things to Know
Header unsubscribe does not remove existing unsubscribe methods.
You are not forced to enable it.
It improves compliance and deliverability when supported.
It works securely using token-based unsubscribe links.
If someone is already unsubscribed, they will not be re-added.
What This Feature Does Not Do
It does not remove other unsubscribe options.
It does not force header unsubscribe on unsupported inboxes.
By enabling Unsubscribe in Email Header, you provide a smoother opt-out experience while improving deliverability and compliance across supported email providers.
