While Twilio SendGrid Unsubscribe Groups are a powerful way to manage unsubscribes and email preferences, we realize some senders may have their own subscription management tools. For these senders, Marketing Campaigns supports custom unsubscribe links as well.

If you would like to use a custom URL for your unsubscribe link, from the Editor, navigate to Settings in the left-hand sidebar and select the Recipients dropdown menu. Under Unsubscribe Group, select Use Custom Link...

This will expand a new field where you can insert a URL for one of your own pages where recipients can manage their subscription preferences.

To place your Custom Unsubscribe link into your email, highlight any text within the body of your email and click the small link icon to specify a hyperlink. In the URL field that appears, enter the tag {{{unsubscribe}}}. Since you've specified your Custom Unsubscribe Link in the Settings panel, SendGrid will replace the Unsubscribe Tag with your custom URL.
