Understanding Unsubscribe understanding-unsubscribe
There are actually several different types of built-in unsubscribes in Marketo. They’re all represented by fields on the person object, just like First Name.
All of these fields are built-in to your Marketo subscription. They are all boolean (checkbox) type. They can be used in Forms or Change Data Value flow steps.
Unsubscribed unsubscribed
This is used on the standard unsubscribe page. If a person checks this box, or clicks the unsubscribe link in an email, they will no longer receive marketing emails. They will, however, receive operational emails.
Marketing Suspended marketing-suspended
This field is set by the user for placing people on a temporary unsubscribe. People can only attain this status if they are manually changed or a change data value flow step is utilized.
Email Suspended email-suspended
This status blocks a person from mailings for 24 hours after a hard bounce occurs. After 24 hours, the person will become mailable again.
Blocklisted blocklisted
Use this for people like competitors. Anyone you want receiving no emails—operational, marketing, etc. They get nothing!
