Info
titleMultiple lists and preference center settings
Which lists are to be shown or hidden in the Preference Center is set at the list level. When you set the lists to be shown in the Preference Center, the list that is currently active in the MailUp console (the one that you are working in) is always enabled by default, whereas the others are not. If you have 4 lists, and you want all 4 lists to be shown when someone clicks on the link to the Preference Center in messages sent from all 4 lists, you must access the Preference Center admin tools from each of the list in the MailUp console, and enable the lists that should be shown.

How it looks to your customers

In the first tab you can view the text that will be shown to your customers before each section:

Frequency tab

If you decide to show this menu to your recipients, they will be able to:

  • set the maximum number of messages that they want to receive
  • set a period of timeduring which they prefer not to receive any message (e.g. because they are on vacation)

These option are also available when configuring the confirmed unsubscribe with options.

Social profile tab

Finally, you can configure the social profiles linked to the list.

Lists do not initially contain Social media accounts, so this section is not shown to your recipients. If you want this section to be shown to your contacts, all you need to do is add one or more accounts under Settings > List settings > Social media accounts, and then select at least one of them ("View").

This way, your social profiles are shown to your recipients, and they can click them to like them on Facbook, follow them on Twitter and view the LinkedIn profiles.
