Unsubscribe Contact

Unsubscribe a contact from all mail for your account.

This is an account-wide opt-out: the contact is held back from every campaign and automation, regardless of which lists they belong to. On success the contact's status becomes unsubscribed and subscription.is_unsubscribed becomes true.

The request is idempotent — unsubscribing a contact that is already unsubscribed returns 200 with the same state.

To take a contact off a single list while leaving them mailable for the rest of your account, use Remove Contact from List instead — that removes list membership, it is not an opt-out.
