How to handle Third Party opt outs

[Anonymous]

We currently receive opt out information from several third-party email services that send on our behalf. Currently they are housed in a separate database. I would like to manage all opt outs in Marketo. Can this be done? Would the opt outs be counted against our purchase tier level of contacts? I also need to periodically download the opt outs to send to the vendors to scrub their lists. Is there an easy way to do this also?

Thanks,

Carol

You can import third party opt outs by importing as Email Address | Unsubscribe = TRUE or 1.

But if you do that, it will count against you for your record count.

As Greg mentioned in a long post elsewhere, you can then run a flow action Unsubscribe=T or just remove the lead from Marketo. The lead is sent to a secret table called Master Unsubscribed which will prevent you from inadvertently emailing the person again.

You can use a smart list of Unsubscribed=T to download whatever list you need.

Hi Carol,

Here is how to do it without increasing the size of the database : Feeding the Durable Unsubscribe List without increasing the database

Yes, opt outs are counted against your tier as they will be tracked on the website regardless of email.

You can upload opt-outs from third parties and add them to your opt out list and manage the whole thing from there

Lastly, you can export the optout file and email it.
