Subscription Hub
Making it easy for our users to manage their email subscriptions in one place.
Subscription Hub
Most of the emails our users receive in their inbox come from brands they love. We believe those business-to-consumer emails are a useful medium for users to get information, deals and entertainment. Users can pick and choose what matters most to them.
The Subscription Hub is a centralized place for Yahoo Mail users to manage which brands they engage with in email.
As email marketers, you can manage and grow your email audience by providing an easy way for them to subscribe and unsubscribe.
Why should easy unsubscribe matter?
As users go through different phases of life, their interests change (temporarily or permanently). Based on that, they want certain emails to stop reaching their Inbox. This is normal. If it is not easy to unsubscribe from business-to-consumer emails, there is a chance users can block the sender, or worse mark the email as spam. This will impact you as a sender adversely and can damage your domain reputation resulting in the rest of your emails ending up in the Spam folder.
As a sender you can help us and your subscribers by letting them opt-out of your messages easily. This can improve message open rates, click-through rates, and reputation. (Learn more about our sending requirements & recommendations here.)
Criteria for senders to appear in the Subscription Hub:
Supporting One-Click Unsubscribe
Beginning in early 2024, we will require one-click unsubscribe. To do this you need include the following code within the headers of your email:List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click
List-Unsubscribe: <https://domain.com/unsub/opaquepart>
Once a user unsubscribes, you will get a POST request which looks like this:POST /unsub/opaquepart HTTP/1.1
Host: domain.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 26
List-Unsubscribe=One-Click
Of course we support “mailto:” unsubscribe headers as well.
