  • You cannot use your own unsubscribe links in your email campaigns. 
  • Create a custom unsubscribe page for each language in which you will send your email campaign. You will then be able to choose which custom unsubscribe page to use depending on the language in which your email campaign is sent. To learn more, check our dedicated article Insert an unsubscribe link in your campaigns.
  • If you do not choose a custom unsubscribe page, a default one will automatically be linked to the unsubscribe link in the footer of your email campaign. However, we highly recommend using one of your custom unsubscribe pages to match your recipients' language and your branding. 

Step 1: Create and set up your custom unsubscribe page

Create custom unsubscribe pages to integrate as an unsubscribe link into an email campaign. You can customize the default unsubscribe page to match your branding by clicking the account dropdown and Settings > Campaigns > Unsubscribe pages. However, we recommend that you create custom unsubscribe pages for each language in which you send your email campaigns:

  1. Click the account dropdown and Settings > Campaigns.
  2. Click Personalize from the Unsubscribe Pages block. You are redirected to Unsubscription pages.

Unsubscribe survey

💡 Good to know
The unsubscribe survey has been automatically added to your unsubscribe pages since April 18th, 2025.

Unsubscribe pages include an optional survey for your contacts after unsubscribing to let you know why they chose to unsubscribe from your communications. This feedback helps you identify trends, refine your email strategy, and take action to improve retention. 

This unsubscribe survey is activated by default on your unsubscribe page. You only need to choose in which language you want to show the survey to your contacts:

Your contacts can choose between the following answers: 

  • I’m no longer interested in receiving these emails
  • I don’t recall signing up for these emails
  • I receive these emails too frequently
  • The content of these emails feels irrelevant to me
  • These emails seem too promotional

❓ Where can I see the results of this unsubscribe survey?

💡 Good to know
The unsubscribe survey is optional for your contacts. If a contact does not answer it, you will not be able to determine why they unsubscribed from their contact details page or email campaign report. 

Check your email campaign reports to know the reasons why your contacts unsubscribed from your marketing emails. For each email campaign sent through Brevo, you can check the list of reasons why your contacts unsubscribed from your marketing communications in your email campaign report: 

  1. Go to Marketing > Campaigns > Email.
  2. Next to the name of the email campaign for which you want to access the report:
    1. For Sent campaigns, click the report report-icon.png icon.
    2. For Suspended, Running, or Archived campaigns, click More action more-action-icon.png > report-icon.png Report.

  5. (Optional) For each unsubscribe reason, click View contacts to open a segment containing the contacts who chose this reason.

To learn more about how to analyze the reasons why your contacts unsubscribed, check our dedicated section in Analyze and export your email campaign report.

  • URL: Redirect your contacts to a specific URL to confirm their unsubscription.

  • No confirmation: Show a confirmation message on the unsubscribe page after they confirm unsubscription. Click Next to customize the confirmation message your recipients will see after unsubscribing.

Step 4: Customize the state messages
