How it works
When your prospects click the 'unsubscribe' link, their status changes to OPT-OUT. Additionally, they are given the #UNSUBSCRIBED tag.
OPT-OUT is a global status, which means that once the status is changed, Woodpecker will update it everywhere (every campaign and main prospect list).
As a result, scheduled follow-ups won’t be sent. Moreover, such prospects cannot be added to future campaigns. Status OPT-OUT can be changed back to ACTIVE only manually.
To find your new prospects who clicked the 'unsubscribe' link, simply open your campaign or Prospects database and filter them by the Status OPT-OUT.
Searching by the TAG
1. Open your Prospects database or campaign,
2. Click ‘Tags’ from the ‘filter by’ section,
3. Choose the #UNSUBSCRIBED tag,
4. The prospects who have opted out will be marked as # UNSUBSCRIBED in the ‘TAGS’ column.
You can type the tag in or select it from the list. Sometimes you may need to scroll it if you happen to have a long list. The tags are put in alphabetical order, which means that you’ll find the #UNSUBSCRIBED tag at the end of the tag list.
Searching by the STATUS
1. Open your Prospects database or campaign.
2. Click Status.
3. Select 'OPT-OUT'.
