Unsubscribe requests for DMS-sourced Data Extensions are recorded in DMS.
Every DMS Data Extension request submitted to UMF-IS specifies a default unsubscribe level, selected from a list of available choices.
When a recipient of a Salesforce Marketing Cloud email unsubscribes from a given unit, department, publication, etc., that recipient's DMS record is updated to reflect what they do not want to receive via email.
Consider unsubscribes as a hierarchical tree.
- University
- Campus
- Unit/College
- Department/Division
- specific subscription
- Department/Division
- Unit/College
- Campus
Someone who opts OUT at the University level, and has not opted IN to another unit and/or to a specific subscription, will not be included in a Data Extension (email list) generated from DMS.
Specific Subscriptions
There are specific "branded" subscriptions to which people can opt OUT or opt IN within DMS.
These can be located at the Campus, Unit/College, or Department/Division level.
For example, U of M Morris's alumni newsletter "E-Express" has a specific branded subscription. They have specified this as their default unsubscribe level.
