In this article, we will explain what blocked contacts are and where to view the list of blocked contacts on your account.

What is a blocked contact?

A blocked contact is a contact that is blocked for the reception of transactional emails.

In this case, contacts are unsubscribed from specific senders. This means that they will not receive any transactional emails anymore from those specific senders but they would still be able to receive transactional emails from other senders. This way, if a contact unsubscribes from a transactional email, they may still receive important notifications such as order confirmations or password reset.

❗️ Important

If a contact generates a spam complaint or a hard bounce, they will be blocked for all senders of transactional emails.
