Respecting Boundaries & Consent
Key Takeaway
Every outreach email contains a one-click unsubscribe link (RFC 8058 compliant) that instantly and permanently adds the recipient to your global unsubscribe list, your agent also recognizes negative replies, hostile responses, and auto-replies indicating the person left the company, and stops contact automatically in all cases.
How Your Agent Respects Boundaries
Unsubscribe Requests
Every outreach email includes a one-click unsubscribe link (RFC 8058 compliant). When someone unsubscribes:
- They're immediately added to your global unsubscribe list
- They will never be contacted by any of your campaigns again
- The unsubscribe is recorded permanently (legal requirement)
- Your agent acknowledges the opt-out if they reply asking to stop
Negative Responses
Your agent uses AI sentiment analysis to detect negative responses. When someone says "not interested," "stop emailing me," or similar:
- They're marked as not interested and removed from the campaign
- No follow-ups are sent
- They won't be contacted by future campaigns targeting the same email
- The response is logged in your activity feed
"Do Not Contact" Signals
Your agent recognizes various forms of rejection:
- Direct refusals ("No thanks," "Not interested")
- Requests to stop ("Remove me," "Unsubscribe")
- Hostile responses (automatically de-escalates and ceases contact)
- Auto-replies indicating the person has left the company
- Bounce-backs indicating the email is invalid
When Your Agent Stops Automatically
Your agent will never contact someone who:
- Has unsubscribed from any of your campaigns
- Has explicitly asked to stop receiving emails
- Has responded negatively to a previous outreach
- Has an invalid or bounced email address
- Is on a regulatory do-not-contact list
Your Unsubscribe List
See everyone who's opted out by going to the Leads page and filtering to the Unsubscribed status. This list applies across all campaigns, once someone opts out, they're opted out everywhere.
Important: Once someone unsubscribes, your agent never contacts them again. Honoring opt-outs is a legal requirement under CAN-SPAM and GDPR.
