Updated on October 3, 2020 06:25AM by Admin

The Targets App of Apptivo allows you to add contacts, leads, customers, or employees to the target lists. However, certain scenarios might require to remove a target completely or stop sending campaigns only for a certain duration. In these cases, the Remove and Opt-out option of Apptivo will help to tackle these conditions.

Remove - The Remove option in the Targets App helps to remove a target completely from your Target List. Once a target is removed, the target will not be receiving any more emails when a campaign is sent. To include the target again, you have to add the target to the target list again.

Opt-out - With the Opt-out option, the campaign will not be sent to the selected target but the target will still remain in the Target List. It is basically excluding a target from receiving emails. You can simply click the Opt-in button to include the target for the campaign.

Go to the Targets App in Apptivo and open the Target list where the contact has to be removed. Here, Discount Offer.
