Questions on Unsubscribe Feature

I have some doubts on the unsubscribe functionality - please help

  • I don't see the HTML code which says something like this 'This email was sent to ji***b*h@g**il.com (I suppose this is picked up from {{lead.Email Address}} - please correct if I am wrong). So, where does this code gets picked up from and then made available in the email that gets delivered to the user?
  • Where do you see the code for the default unsubscribe page? How to override it?
  • If the above is available in HTML format, would it not be possible to pick up the email address from the HTML DOM and pre-populate it. I had seen several marketing emails which has this field pre-populated on the unsubscribe page. The default unsubscribe page template in Marketo asks the user to fill the email address in the field and then unsubscribe.

It's in the Admin » Email » Unsubscribe area or in an email or in a snippet or in a token. There's no single rule in a mature Marketo instance. In your case, likely in Admin.

Where do you see the code for the default unsubscribe page? How to override it?

The default /unsubscribepage.html is a Design Studio LP asset.

You should read Greg's seminal post on the Unsubscribe link: https://nation.marketo.com/community/champion/blog/2017/01/25/the-definitive-guide-to-setting-up-the...  (And also search more here as there are lots of discussions and advice on unsubscribe logic.)

You don't have to pick the value up from anywhere, just Pre-Fill it (with the usual caveats).
