Email opt out, unsubscribes and bounces
Using the standard Salesforce email opt out field to manage subscriptions.
View the subscription status of your contacts in Salesforce.
Unsubscribes and bounces
If a person unsubscribes from an email their subscriber list state will be updated to unsubscribed. Similarly, if a person's record has hard bounced then their subscriber member state will be updated to bounced.
You can find out more in Campaign Monitor bounce types Click here.
These updates can be found in two spots within Salesforce.
Subscriber list membership record.
As an email tracking statistics record.
Bounce Management
If you have a Salesforce contact or lead that has a subscriber membership record, with a state of bounced due to an incorrect email address you can fix this in Salesforce. Simply update the standard email address and the record will be updated in Campaign Monitor and marked active again.
Bounce Reporting
As mentioned above you can see the fact a person is bounced at the subscriber list membership level. If you want to find out more detailed information you can create a report using our email tracking history object in Salesforce. In the report if you include the activity type, bounce type and activity date you should have the information you need.
1. The activity type can be filtered on bounced
2. The bounced type will show if it was a hard or soft bounced
3. The activity date will show when the bounce occurred
