In this article, we will explain how unsubscription works with transactional emails.
Your transactional email recipients can unsubscribe from all emails sent by a particular sender. It's easy to enable this feature - simply follow these steps to add an unsubscribe link into your transactional email template(s).

Add an Unsubscribe link to your email templates
In the Drag & Drop Editor (Classic and New)
Email templates created in the Drag & Drop Editor (Classic and New) automatically contain an unsubscribe link in the footer. If needed, you can update the text of the unsubscribe link.

In the HTML Editor
Email templates created in the HTML Editor need to contain an href attribute within a link tag (<a>) according to the template language you are using:
- Old template language - [UNSUBSCRIBE]
<a href="[UNSUBSCRIBE]">Unsubscribe here</a> - New template language - {{ unsubscribe }}
<a href="{{ unsubscribe }}">Unsubscribe here</a>
What happens when a contact unsubscribes?
When a contact unsubscribes from a transactional email, they will automatically be blacklisted from receiving all future transactional emails sent by that sender.
However, they will still receive transactional emails sent by another sender within the same Sendinblue account. For example, if a contact unsubscribes to stop receiving emails from "marketing@sendinblue.com", they can still receive transactional emails from "support@sendinblue.com".
