Subscription and Unsubscription
❓ If SMS attribute is not mandatory in update profile form, if a contact enters their email and clicks ‘update’ what will happen to the SMS attribute.
We don’t alter the SMS field, we update only the info given in the form, rest will remain unchanged.
❓ If a contact types in their email but leaves SMS blank, when they click unsubscribe will they be unsubscribed from both?
We will blocklist the contact from email campaigns since you are unsubscribing from a campaign.
A client will be unsubscribed from SMS campaigns if as they send STOP (depending on the country) or if they are manually blocklisted in Brevo.
