Readers and consent
How readers join a Geenius Newsletter publication: double opt-in, the consent log, unsubscribing, erasing a reader and reader data downloads.
Only readers who said yes get your issues.
Double opt-in#
A reader who signs up is pending and gets a mail with a confirmation link. After the click they are active. Only active readers get issues.
The consent log#
Every signup, confirmation and change is written to the reader's consent log. Entries are only ever added, never edited, so you can show how and when a person agreed.
The states of a reader#
| State | What it means | Gets issues |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Signed up, has not clicked the confirmation link yet | No |
| Active | Confirmed | Yes |
| Unsubscribed | Left by the link in an issue | No |
| Suppressed | Hard bounce, three soft bounces, or a complaint | No, never again |
Subscribers in your plan count pending and active readers across a workspace's publications.
Lists#
A publication can have several lists, for example a weekly letter and a monthly digest. An issue goes to one or more of them. You can rename a list, change how often it is sent, take it out of use and bring it back.
Leaving#
Every issue has a one-click unsubscribe. You can also erase a reader for good. Readers can download their own data.
