What is the difference between (unsubscribe_link) and (unsubscribe_url) shortcode?

Both tokens add an unsubscribe option to your email. You can use either, depending on your design needs.

Comparison

Token What it does When to use
(unsubscribe_link) Automatically generates a clickable “Unsubscribe” link. Use for most standard templates where a ready link is fine.
(unsubscribe_url) Outputs the raw unsubscribe URL (e.g., https://...), which you can place inside your own HTML. Use when customizing your link text, button, or language.

Recommended Usage

  • Use (unsubscribe_link) for simplicity and automatic linking.
  • Use (unsubscribe_url) for advanced designs or localization.

Examples

1. Drop-in link (default)

Thanks for reading!
(unsubscribe_link)

2. Custom anchor text

<p>Prefer fewer emails? <a href="(unsubscribe_url)">Unsubscribe here</a></p>

3. Styled button

<a href="(unsubscribe_url)" class="btn btn-primary">Unsubscribe</a>

4. Plain-text emails

To stop receiving these, open this link: (unsubscribe_url)

Testing

  1. Create a draft email.
  2. Insert both tokens: (unsubscribe_link) and (unsubscribe_url).
  3. Send a test to yourself.
  4. Compare: one renders a clickable link, the other shows the raw URL.

FAQ

Will the “Unsubscribe” text change?

No. (unsubscribe_link) always uses a standard clickable text. To customize the wording, use (unsubscribe_url).

Can I place the link in a custom footer?

Yes. Insert (unsubscribe_link) directly or wrap (unsubscribe_url) in your own HTML anywhere you want.

Best Practices

  • Place the unsubscribe link clearly in the footer.
  • Use contrasting colors and clear text.
  • Test across desktop and mobile before sending.
