Action

  • Keep consent state reflected in the widget
  • Reduce accidental re-engagement

  • 1Connect Mailchimp and BotStar once.
  • 2Create an automation describing the BotStar boot reset required after an unsubscribe.
  • 3Choose the Mailchimp Unsubscribe trigger.
  • 4Select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real unsubscribe event.
