Aweber sending mail to unsubscribed automatically

The pesky problem of automated email sending to unsubscribed contacts!

AWeber, like most email marketing platforms, has measures in place to prevent sending emails to unsubscribed contacts. However, there are some scenarios where this might happen:

  1. Unsubscribed contacts in a list: If you have a list with unsubscribed contacts, and you're using a segment or a filter to send emails to that list, AWeber might still send emails to those unsubscribed contacts. To avoid this, make sure to exclude unsubscribed contacts from your list or segment before sending.
  2. Unsubscribed contacts in a campaign: If you're using a campaign with a specific list or segment, and that list or segment contains unsubscribed contacts, AWeber might still send emails to those contacts. To avoid this, make sure to exclude unsubscribed contacts from your campaign settings.
  3. Automation workflows: If you have automation workflows set up in AWeber, such as welcome emails or abandoned cart reminders, those workflows might still send emails to unsubscribed contacts. To avoid this, make sure to set up your workflows to exclude unsubscribed contacts.
  4. Third-party integrations: If you're using third-party integrations with AWeber, such as Zapier or IFTTT, those integrations might still send emails to unsubscribed contacts. To avoid this, make sure to set up your integrations to exclude unsubscribed contacts.

To prevent sending emails to unsubscribed contacts in AWeber, follow these best practices:

  1. Regularly clean your lists: Remove unsubscribed contacts from your lists to prevent them from receiving future emails.
  2. Use segmentation: Segment your lists to target specific groups of subscribers, and exclude unsubscribed contacts from those segments.
  3. Set up automation workflows carefully: When setting up automation workflows, make sure to exclude unsubscribed contacts from the workflow.
  4. Monitor your email metrics: Keep an eye on your email metrics, such as bounce rates and complaint rates, to identify potential issues with unsubscribed contacts.
  5. Comply with anti-spam laws: Familiarize yourself with anti-spam laws, such as the CAN-SPAM Act, and ensure you're complying with them.
