Key Takeaways
- Contacts can resubscribe in Mailchimp using the Mailchimp form or through manual resubscription.

Understanding Mailchimp Unsubscriptions
To understand Mailchimp unsubscriptions, it's essential to grasp the process by which contacts can unsubscribe and resubscribe.
When a contact chooses to unsubscribe from our e-mail communications, they're marked as unsubscribed in Mailchimp. This means that they'll no longer receive e-mails from us.
However, they can still resubscribe by signing up again using the subscription form.
If contacts were unsubscribed in bulk, it's possible to manually re-subscribe them by following specific steps within the Mailchimp platform.
It's important to note that contacts who've previously unsubscribed can re-subscribe by using the subscription form hosted by Mailchimp, and their permission to receive e-mails will be recorded in the form.
If a contact requests to be re-subscribed, we should provide them with a link to the subscription form and guide them through the double opt-in process.
Additionally, paid users can access email and chat support for technical assistance related to resubscribing contacts and other Mailchimp features.
Resubscribing via Mailchimp Form

After understanding the process of unsubscribing in Mailchimp, we can now explore how contacts can resubscribe using the Mailchimp form.
For contacts who previously unsubscribed and wish to resubscribe, they can do so by using the subscription form hosted by Mailchimp. If a contact requests to be resubscribed, provide them with a link to the subscription form where they can re-enter their information and opt back in to your email marketing.
Additionally, contacts who were manually unsubscribed can also be manually resubscribed through specific steps in Mailchimp. This involves navigating to the Audience tab, choosing the desired audience, selecting the recipient's name, and then choosing the option to resubscribe.
It's important to note that when contacts resubscribe via the Mailchimp form, they may need to go through the process of confirming their subscription again. This typically involves receiving a confirmation email and completing the necessary steps to confirm their subscription. However, it's crucial to only resend the confirmation email upon explicit request from the user, which can be done by clicking on the contact profile page, selecting 'Resend Confirmation' from the Actions dropdown menu.
Manual Resubscription of Email Addresses
Mailchimp allows for the manual resubscription of email addresses by accessing the contact's profile and following specific steps within the platform.
To manually resubscribe contacts, follow these steps:
- Access the contact's profile: Navigate to the contact's profile within your Mailchimp account.
- Check the status: Look for the unsubscribed status or confirmation that the contact is in the suppression list.
- Resubscribe contacts: If the contact is in the suppression list or has been manually unsubscribed, you can resubscribe them by following the prompts within the contact's profile.
Manually unsubscribed contacts can be re-added to your email list by following these precise steps within the Mailchimp platform. By carefully managing the resubscription process, you can ensure that previously unsubscribed contacts receive your emails once again.
It's important to note that contacts who've previously unsubscribed must use the subscription form hosted by Mailchimp to rejoin your email list, as this records the date and time of permission to receive emails. Additionally, if the audience is set for double opt-in, the confirmation email can be resent from the contact's profile upon explicit request.
Confirming Resubscription via Email

When confirming resubscription via email, it's important to provide a clear and direct message to the contact. The email should include a prominent call-to-action button or link that allows the contact to confirm their resubscription with a single click. This ensures a seamless and user-friendly experience for the contact.
Additionally, the email should clearly outline what the contact can expect to receive upon resubscription, such as the types of email campaigns and the frequency of emails. It's essential to reiterate the value of resubscribing and being a part of the email list.
The confirmation email should also include a brief reminder of the contact's previous decision to unsubscribe and express gratitude for their interest in re-engaging with the content.
