How do you use an automation rule to opt out prospects?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

You can use an automation rule to opt out prospects by changing their field value of 'Do Not Email' to 'true'. This will prevent them from receiving any email communication from you. You cannot use an automation rule to change the field value to 'Opt-out', since that is not a valid option for the 'Do Not Email' field. You also cannot use an automation rule to opt out prospects by changing any other field value, since the 'Do Not Email' field is the only one that controls the opt-out status of prospects. Reference: [Automation Rules], [Opt Out Prospects]

I’m a bit confused; I thought we could only set it to 'Do Not Email', but now I'm not sure if 'Opt-out' is also valid.

I remember a practice question about opting out, and I think it was about changing the field value to something like 'Opt-out'.

I think we can use automation rules to change a prospect's field value, but I'm not sure if it's specifically 'Do Not Email' or something else.

Ah, I think I've got it! The answer is C - changing the prospect field value to 'Opt-out'. That makes sense as the way to use an automation rule to opt out prospects. I feel good about this one.

Option B says you can't use an automation rule to opt-out prospects, but that doesn't sound right to me. I'm pretty sure there's a way to do this with an automation rule, I just need to figure out the exact steps.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know we can use automation rules, but I'm not confident that changing the field value is the correct approach. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

AuIvetteation rule to opt out prospects? What is this, the dark ages? We should just delete their accounts and be done with it.

B is the way to go, man. You can't auIvetteate something that important. Gotta do it manually to make sure it's done right.
