unsubscribe
Unsubscribes a recipient from a recipient list in Optimizely Campaign.
By default, unsubscribed recipients are not deleted from the list, but marked as unsubscribed.
This operation is available in the mail and the form services.
Parameters
| Name | Mandatory | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bmRecipientId | yes/no | – | The ID of the recipient (usually the email address). If used in the mail service, this parameter is not mandatory (the email address is sent anyway). If used in the form service, the parameter is mandatory. |
| bmMailId | no | – | This ID identifies the recipient to be unsubscribed and the received email. If not transmitted in the form service, the unsubscription is valid, but cannot be assigned to a specific mailing. |
| bmRemoveId | no | false | If set to true, the recipient is removed from all recipient lists. Note: Recipients contained in test recipient lists and transaction recipient lists cannot be deleted with this parameter. |

| ok: not_found | Only with bmVerbose=true and bmRemoveId=true: The recipient to be removed was not found in any recipient list. |
