Has Optouts for Email
=====================

This condition located on the Admin category tab in Search builder
helps you find people who have clicked unsubscribe in an email from your church.
You can enter a specific email address to find those that opted out from a specific user,
or change the comparison to Not Equal
and leave the field blank to find everyone with an optout for any email address.

Select a date and it will find those who added an Optout after that date.

.. note::
    Add {unsubscribe} in your email in order to give the recipient this option.

The list of Optouts will display on a person's record on the Emails > OptOuts tab.

.. admonition:: Optouts, an Explanation

    Each optout is a unique combination of a **from email address** and a **peopleid**.
    This means a person can optout of students@mychurch.org but
    not missions@mychurch.org for example.
    Optouts are used to minimize use of the Spam button so that we keep a
    good reputation as a mass emailer.

    The End Date will filter out any optouts that occurred prior to this date.
    This would facilitate a procedure where you wanted to
    remove them from a newsletter group and you don't want to
    see any you had already dealt with.
