Step 1: Adding a variable

Let’s edit the block of text where we want to include the unsubscribe link, position the mouse cursor where we want to add the name and use the Variables. Now, we have to look for the Unsubscriber URLs.

Normal unsubscribe URL. When the subscriber clicks, he will be removed immediately
Unsubscribe URL with confirmation by email. After clicking on this link, the subscriber will receive an email with a link to confirm that he really would like to unsubscribe. He will only be removed after he clicks on this link.
Unsubscribe URL for groups. It will only remove the subscriber from the group used for this campaign. If he is subscribed to other groups, he may receive campaigns sent to these groups.

If you click this option, you’ll see that the system will insert a tag on your message:

{{ unsubscribe_url }}
