    Article summary

    Goal

    Reactivate one or more deactivated contacts within a specific group in Mapp Engage—either individually or by response category—with the option to apply changes system-wide.


    Background Information

    • When a contact is deactivated in a group, Mapp Engage automatically deactivates that contact system-wide.
      This serves as a safeguard to prevent messages from being sent to invalid or problematic addresses.

    • For more details about how deactivation works, including triggers and automation rules, refer to the Deactivation Basics page.


    Prerequisites

    • You must have permission to manage contacts in the relevant group.

    • System-wide reactivation may require additional system-level permissions. If you do not see this option, contact your administrator.


    Procedure

    You can reactivate contacts in two ways:

    1. Single contact

    2. All contacts with the same response category (e.g., Transient, Blocked, Spam Complaint)

    Steps

    1. Go to Audience > Deactivated.

    2. Select the desired Group from the drop-down list.

    3. Choose a reactivation method:

      • Single Contact: In the Actions column, click the icon to open the Deactivated Contacts window. Locate the contact and click Reactivate.

      • Response Category: In the Deactivation Summary view, find the relevant category and click Reactivate. (Only available if contacts exist in that category.)

    4. Confirm the group-level reactivation.

    5. In the confirmation dialog, you can optionally select System-wide reactivation.
      This applies only to contacts already in the selected group and does not allow bulk reactivation across all groups.


    Additional Information


    FAQ

    What’s the difference between reactivating a single contact and a response category?

    Reactivating a single contact affects only that individual. Reactivating a response category restores all contacts in the group who were deactivated for the same reason.

    Can I reactivate a contact system-wide from this view?

    Yes—but only for contacts that are part of the selected group. To fully manage system-wide deactivated contacts, use the dedicated process described in System-Wide Reactivation.
