# Unsubscribe link in campaign emails
> Add an unsubscribe link to campaign emails and manage your organization’s unsubscribe list and footer.
Give campaign recipients a one-click way to opt out. When someone unsubscribes, Stardex marks them Do Not Contact, stops their campaigns, and keeps them out of future ones, so nobody on your team has to do it by hand.
The link is off by default and is turned on per campaign. Admins can change the footer text and see everyone who unsubscribed.
***
## Turn on the link for a campaign
1. Open **Campaigns** and select the campaign.
2. Above the steps, turn on **Include Unsubscribe Link**.
It saves right away and applies to the next emails the campaign sends, including to people already enrolled. Use **Send test email** to preview how the footer looks.
**Clone** does not copy this setting. Turn it on again on the copy.
***
## What recipients see
A short line at the bottom of each email, under your signature: "Don't want to hear from me again? unsubscribe". The word **unsubscribe** is the link.
The link opens a page where they confirm with an **Unsubscribe** button. No account or login is needed.
***
## What happens when someone unsubscribes
* The person is marked **Do not contact**, with the campaign name as the reason.
* All their active campaigns stop, not only the one they unsubscribed from. They show as **Cancelled** on each campaign's recipients list.
* Their email address cannot be enrolled in a campaign again, even from another profile that uses the same address.
If you try to enroll them, Stardex blocks it. In bulk enroll you see an **Unsubscribed Recipients** warning with a button to remove them.
This applies to campaigns from everyone in your workspace, whichever mailbox sends them, and even if **Enforce Person Do Not Contact** is turned off.
***
## For admins
Organization admins can:
* Change the wording of the unsubscribe footer
* See everyone who unsubscribed
* Remove someone from the unsubscribe list
All three are in **Settings → Organization → Campaigns**: [stardex.com/settings?tab=organization\§ion=campaigns](https://stardex.com/settings?tab=organization\§ion=campaigns). Other teammates do not see these settings.
### Change the footer text
In **Unsubscribe Footer**, type your own wording and click **Save**. Put `{{unsubscribe_link}}` where the link should go. Leave the box empty to use the default. The text is shared by every campaign in the workspace.
### See who unsubscribed
**Unsubscribed Recipients** lists every address that unsubscribed, with the person, the campaign, and when. Use **Search by email** to find someone.
### Remove someone from the list
Do this only if the person has asked to hear from you again.
1. Click the trash icon on their row.
2. Choose **Remove and clear Do Not Contact** so campaigns can email them again. **Remove** alone keeps them marked Do Not Contact.
Their cancelled campaigns do not restart. Enroll them again if needed.

## FAQ
### Is the unsubscribe link on by default?
No. Each campaign starts with **Include Unsubscribe Link** off. Turn it on for every campaign that should have the footer.
### Does turning it on change emails that were already sent?
No. The footer is added to emails sent after you turn it on, including the next emails to people already enrolled.
### Who can change the footer text and see who unsubscribed?
Organization admins, in **Settings → Organization → Campaigns**. Anyone with access to Campaigns can turn the link on for a campaign.
### Can I add someone to the unsubscribe list myself?
No. Only recipients can add themselves, using the link. To stop contacting someone, mark them Do Not Contact on their profile.
### Does unsubscribing block emails I send one to one?
No. It only blocks campaigns. The person is still marked Do Not Contact, so check their profile before emailing them.
### If an admin removes someone from the list, do their campaigns start again?
No. Campaigns cancelled when they unsubscribed stay cancelled. Enroll them again if you want to reach them through a campaign.
