How do I add unsubscribe link to emails sent via Mandrill automatically. Specifically, I need a feature in Mandrill not something I would have to develop at my end.
Just add a link like the following:
Click here to unsubscribe.
to your emails and Mandrill will put an unsubscribe link and will also provide the backend mechanism to automatically unsubscribe the user. This is done by adding the email address to your Rejection Balcklist in your account.
For more details, please see the original documentation

When you send an email through sendgrid, and the recipient opens the email, SendGrid will notify my server about that using webhooks (open) event.
https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/tracking-events/event
But what happens if I specify multiple recipients for the same email with personalizations, do I get the same (open) event every time one of the recipients opens that email? If so how can my server figure which recipient?
What about the (delivered) event? Same questions.
Twilio SendGrid developer evangelist here.
The best way I found to achieve this is to send custom_args with the email, you can add custom_args to each individual personalisation object. Parameters set in custom_args are also sent along in the event webhook.
I wrote a post about how to use custom_args to track email statuses. The post uses Ruby on Rails as the framework, but covers using custom_args and reading them back in the event webhook to update the email in your own database.
We only enable unsubscribe links for all the marketing emails.(we have unsubscribe groups for that) So we don't provide unsubscribe links for other types of email, for example, a payment request email.
However, we discovered that on the Preferences page, users can still choose to Opt-Out of all Emails (global unsubscribe) thus they will no longer receive any email from us including the payment request. So wondering how could I disable this "View Opt Out Preferences" button so that users can only Opt-out one single group?
Edit Sep 20:
there is no such setting for custom unsubscribe link. Offical docu is out of date.

Sorry it's taken me a while to get to this. I've been chasing down what can be done here. There are a few options:
Subusers
If you are on a Pro account or higher, you can set up subusers within your account. The recommendation is to set up a subuser for your marketing emails and a different subuser for your transactional emails. That way unsubscribes from the marketing list won't affect the transactional email side of things. You can read about setting up subuser accounts here.
Create your own unsubscribe page
Rather than using the SendGrid provided unsubscribe page, that allows users to get to the "Opt out of all emails" button, you can create your own unsubscribe page. You can add a custom unsubscribe link to your emails. You can then use the API to add the email address to one of your unsubscribe groups.
Bypass suppressions
You can set the bypass_list_management filter to true when sending your mail to ignore all unsubscribe groups/suppressions. This seems like a last resort sort of fix, rather than something you should use for all transactional emails. The docs are fairly strongly worded on this:
It is important to respect unsubscribes, and these filters should be used only when it is absolutely necessary to deliver a message to recipients who have unsubscribed from your emails. For example, you may use these filters to deliver messages that you are legally required to send to all recipients or important security messages like a password reset.
Check out more on bypass list management.
Please, see the screenshot (of an email) that I received for my transaction.
I would like to create the similar email template for the users who interact on my site.
I really like mailchimp and it is email templates. But I cannot send a transactional email, triggered by the recipient's action like purchase confirmations etc. I came to know about mandrill, but I could not sign up for mandrill.
I want to know how these email templates (refer above screenshot) are created... is there any free website that I can use?
There is also something called Mautic. This is an open source marketing automation tool. Which has lots of possibilities and where you can also use your own email templates.
Hope this helps in a way!
We send out email newsletters and automated confirmation emails to users of our websites. Each email has an unsubscribe link in the email footer and each recipient opted in to receive emails.
Outlook webmail has the unsubscribe link above the body of the email in the following form:
Getting too much email from #SENDER#? You can unsubscribe
Clicking on the link opens a dialog window with following content:
Block this sender
[SENDER] hasn't given us any information to help you unsubscribe, so we'll block everything sent from the following sender: [EMAIL_ADDRESS]
[×] Also delete everything from [SENDER] in my Inbox folder
I search the internet and even contacted the Outlook support and asked them what info they need from us to help recepients unsubscribe from our emails. After several email exchanges the Outlook support concluded that they have no idea how to change Outlook's unsubscribe link, what information we should give them and how we should give them the information.
Can anyone please advise or point me to the right direction please? Thanks.
Is it "List-Unsubscribe" MIME header? http://www.list-unsubscribe.com/
You're confusing a couple of things here. First, while outlook.com is a Microsoft domain, Outlook itself is an entirely different thing, and people can be using Outlook as their mail program regardless of what domain they have. You won't know what client people are using for email, or what server they use to access it. Second, you say that email communication is vital for your websites. Banning people from your newsletters doesn't help that situation in the least. People using the various Microsoft services that you mention have no trouble receiving and participating in those email communications. What you don't touch on, is what software you're using for your newsletters. THAT is where your problem probably is. If you go to that domain.com/unsubscribe URL, what does that page do/look like? There are 2 usual links for a List-Unsubscribe header. One is a mailto: link such as unsub-list-12345#domain.com, where any email to that address performs an unsubscription. For the web link version, it needs to be a link to a page that automatically unsubscribes the user (so the link would need to be customized with variables such as the mailing list).
I'm reading about the new development of Google quick action buttons in the mail inbox.
I'm a little bit lost in this topic and not understand how I can include this function in my emails.
I have read about DKIM/SPF but I don't know if this functionality could need to do an google app.
I have my mail server with marketing segmentation and I want this button is visible when email come to client (destiny) gmail inbox (guess only works in gmail....). If i have included the markup code in html in my emails, why i can't see this button?
would it need create a specific mail application to implement this feature and send emails from this app? Someone tried this?
I know maybe this has been reply before but i think must start more down... so.. sorry.
Thanks and regards!
When you are ready to launch your marked up emails to your users, you will need to register with Google. Please follow this process:
1.Send a real-life email coming from your production servers (or a server with similar DKIM/SPF/From:/Return-Path: headers) including the markup / schema to schema.whitelisting+sample#gmail.com.
2.If you send a test/blank email, an email that does not contain schema or if you don't send an email for review your application will be silently discarded.
3.Make sure that the markup is correct prior to sending the email. For more details see Testing your Schema. Especially make sure the email passes the Email markup Tester and that there are no errors, also make sure to include as much data as possible.
4.Gmail removes all markup when forwarding an email. Do not forward the email but send it directly.
Fill out the registration form available here.

Hope this helps!!
Are you sending a promotional email (offers, etc.)?
If yes, then you are likely to be delivered to the Promotions tab, where quick actions do not work (according to Litmus - https://litmus.com/ebooks/gmail-ebook/gmail-ebook/).
Quick Actions work best in the Inbox for transactional emails.
("Here is your booking confirmation" [Check-in now] quick action)
These typically arrive directly in the Inbox.
