Email Deliverability & Unsubscribes
Last updated 2026-05-01
Savena automatically handles email deliverability signals so you do not accidentally email contacts who have bounced, complained, or unsubscribed. This protects your sender reputation and keeps you compliant with anti-spam regulations.
Bounces
When an email cannot be delivered, the receiving mail server returns a bounce. Savena listens for bounce notifications and marks the contact as bounced. Future automated emails — such as widget follow-ups, broadcasts, and unresponsive-conversation check-ins — skip bounced contacts automatically.
Spam complaints
If a recipient marks one of your emails as spam, the mailbox provider sends a complaint notification. Savena records the complaint, marks the contact as opted out, and stops sending them automated emails. Repeated complaints can damage your sender reputation across all recipients, so it is important to honor them immediately.
Unsubscribes
Every outbound email from Savena includes a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer and the standard List-Unsubscribe header. When a recipient clicks unsubscribe (or their mail client uses the header), the request is verified with a signed token and the contact is marked as unsubscribed. They will not receive further automated emails from your workspace.
Viewing opt-out status
Open any conversation and check the Contact Info panel on the right. If a contact has bounced, complained, or unsubscribed, an indicator is shown. You can still send a one-off agent reply to a bounced or unsubscribed contact, but automated emails will not be delivered to them.
Bounce and complaint webhooks are wired up automatically when Savena email is enabled — no configuration is required. The opt-out list is workspace-scoped, so a contact unsubscribing from one workspace does not affect another.
If a contact contacts you again after unsubscribing — for example, by replying to a thread or starting a new live chat conversation — you can still respond. The opt-out only blocks Savena from sending them automated outbound emails.
