Secure unsubscribe from the list

Question

Hi all,

I would like to have something similar to double Opt-in but related with unsubscribe action. Right now when I click on the unsubscribe link I am redirected to the page where I need to put an email address. Let's assume that I know who subscribed that list so I can put email address that does not belong to me and unsubscribe someone.

Is it possible to send a confirmation email in order to unsubscribe? Or maybe there is another way how I can provide secure unsubscribing?

Welcome to the community @Sebastian468Klaviyo does not support 1-click unsubscribe. I believe this is due to some receiving email systems that click through all the links in the email to look for malicious code on the landing pages. I see that type of activity on B2B emails and also emails oneducational domains. In those instances, a 1-click unsubscribe would opt-outcontacts without them intending to do so.Nor can you send a confirmation email once a contact has unsubscribed because they’ve opted out! That approach wouldrisk upsetting contacts and could result in spam flags.However, the current unsubscribe mechanism pre-populates the unsubscribe form with therecipient’s email, so a good compromise, I think.I don’t think it is likely that someone would unsubscribe using another person’s email either: the static part of the unsubscribe url gives a 404, so they’d need first to have a Klaviyo-generated unsubscribe link; someone else also in a Klaviyo list. That scenario is very low risk, in my opinion!Hope that helpsAndy
