Unsubscribe/Bounced/Complained --> Set Channel DNDs

Automations automatically detect when a user unsubscribes, bounces, or complains, and subsequently update the user's preferences to prevent further communications. By setting Channel DNDs (Do Not Disturb), these systems ensure that messages are not sent to these users, maintaining compliance with privacy and anti-spam regulations. This process helps maintain a positive relationship with the audience by respecting their communication preferences.

Go to "Automation" > "Contact and List Management" > "4.02 Unsubscribe/Bounced/Complained --> Set Channel DNDs"

This automation ensures that these users will no longer receive communications via that channel, maintaining compliance with their preferences. Additionally, it helps in managing the contact lists effectively by preventing further outreach to those who have opted out.
