In Salesforce Marketing Cloud Engagement, there are several mechanisms through which a subscriber can opt- out or unsubscribe from receiving communications, ensuring that communications are aligned with their preferences and needs. The options include:
* Global Unsubscribe: When a subscriber chooses to globally unsubscribe, they are opting out of all communications from the organization across all channels within Marketing Cloud. This is a comprehensive opt-out option that affects all marketing lists and data extensions associated with the subscriber.
* Universal Unsubscribe: Similar to the global unsubscribe, a universal unsubscribe impacts the subscriber's status across multiple channels and lists, ensuring they do not receive unwanted communications from the organization.
* Data Extension Unsubscribe: This option allows subscribers to unsubscribe from specific communications tied to a particular data extension without affecting their subscription status in other lists or data extensions. This granularity enables subscribers to tailor their communication preferences more precisely.
These unsubscribe options are part of Salesforce Marketing Cloud's commitment to respecting subscriber preferences and adhering to best practices in email marketing and communications.
