Encourage customers to opt back in

Hi Enzo,

I can chime in on your second question - why can't people be removed from Guarded Watch automatically? Guarded Watch acts as a safe guard for unsubscribes. Each time someone opts out of emails through our standard unsubscribe process, they are opted out in Sugar Market, that opt out is synced to CRM, and they are added to Guarded Watch. This way, if that lead or contact were to be deleted from the database and later re-added, we still have record that they have unsubscribed. The ensures we are able to honor that opt out request. 

In order to help keep contacts from unsubscribing, we recommend giving them the option to manage the types of communications they are receiving. This way they can opt out of the things they do not want to receive, but don't have to opt out all together.

Thanks!

Thank you for the clairification Jana :) - I thought Sugar didn't offer a preference centre. Is this a new feature?

Hi Enzo,

We have a couple of different options for how customers can go about setting up preference options. We are working on an article about that now, so we will prioritize getting that posted, but in the meantime you can find additional info in the documentation site here:

• https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Market/Sugar_Market_User_Guide/Lists_and_Segmentation/#Suppression_Lists
• https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Market/Sugar_Market_User_Guide/Lists_and_Segmentation/#Preference_Lists
• You can also create a custom preference page by utilizing Pages & Forms and mapping back to corresponding preference fields and the field for opting out of all, which can vary by CRM. 

Thanks!
