    Unsubscribe Members From All Groups

    Article summary

    This job was previously called: Unsubscribe from All Groups.

    This job unsubscribes members from all groups in the system. The contacts are selected from the system-wide database with a mandatory selection.

    The contact receives no further emails from the system unless he is again added to a group. The contact's address and profile data are not deleted. Group-specific data (member attributes and group membership statistics) are deleted for this contact.

    A group owner who is also a member of the group can be unsubscribed and still retain ownership of the group. Group managers, deactivated recipients, and members (any status) are all unsubscribed if they are included in the selection.

    An unsubscribe is recorded in the group statsitics. The ​Define Job​ area defines whether confirmation messages are sent to each unsubscribed member. This is the system message ​SysMsgUnsubscribeFromGroup​.

    As an alternative, you can remove members from groups. Removing members does not affect the group statistics, and no confirmation messages are sent. See Remove Members From All Groups​.
