The Unsubscribed tab in Mobiz provides insights into who has been unsubscribed and why contacts have opted out of your messages. The Reason column helps you understand how and why a contact was removed from your messaging list.

Below are the possible opt-out reasons and their definitions:

  • Opt-out list: The contact was included in an opt-out list you imported.

  • Contact: The contact unsubscribed themselves by replying to a message with ‘STOP’ or another recognized opt-out keyword. This is the most common way for contacts to opt out of receiving messages.

  • Number Lookup: The contact was unsubscribed because their number was identified as invalid or not a mobile number. This ensures your messages are only sent to valid recipients.

  • Manual: You, or another user on your account manually unsubscribed the contact. This could have been done through the app interface, either from the inbox or by editing the contact directly.

  • Zapier: The contact was unsubscribed via Zapier automation. If you use Zapier to automate processes, an integration may have triggered the opt-out.

  • API: The contact was unsubscribed through an API request. This typically happens when an external system or integration initiates the opt-out process.

Understanding these opt-out reasons can help you analyze trends, refine your messaging strategy, and maintain compliance with opt-out requests.

By monitoring opt-out trends, you can identify potential issues, adjust your messaging approach, and improve engagement with your audience.
