A subscriber's status can be edited to either Active or Unsubscribed. There are two methods to update a subscriber's status.

Method 1: Run the Subscriber Status Query and Import the subscriber into the All Subscriber's Table.

Method 2: Create a request and send the Subscriber details to an Engaged Nation Agent.🏆


Method 1

Manually update subscriber statuses in Email Studio with caution.

  1. In Automation Studio > Activities > SQL QUERY > Get Subscriber Status, find the Get Subscriber Status (Singular) or Get Subscriber Status (multiple) if you have more than one record you'd like to query (if it is not available, create a ticket and Engaged Nation will create it for you).
  2. Click 'Edit'.
  3. In the Where statement, change the Green text to the subscriber's record, you want to find. 
    Where a.playerid ='13456'
