Unsubscribing from the Newsletter

Every email sent through the Brilliant Directories platform must include a link that allows recipients to opt out of the website's mailing list. When this link is clicked, the email recipient will be directed to the website with the "/unsubscribe" extension appended to the URL. For instance, find this link at http://www.demobootstrap.com/unsubscribe.



The email recipient will be automatically placed in the "unsubscribed" list to cease receiving emails from the website.

It is possible to sort unsubscribers by using the Sort Order Filter, the options are:

  • Order by Newest First
