Subscription status per channel (email, SMS, WhatsApp) from one preference form

Marketing opsContactMarketing Hub ProfessionalIntermediate~35 min to buildFull spec

Outcome. A contact manages email, SMS, and WhatsApp opt-in status from one preference form, and the workflow catches the cases the form alone cannot: a channel opt-in with no usable phone number behind it, and a single audit trail across all three channels.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse when you run marketing sends on at least two of the three channels (email, SMS, WhatsApp) and want one preference page instead of three separate unsubscribe flows.
  • UseUse when SMS and WhatsApp are already connected as marketing channels in your portal, not as a way to set them up for the first time.
  • SkipDo not use this if you only send marketing email. The native one-click email unsubscribe already covers that case with no workflow needed.
  • SkipDo not assume WhatsApp is available on every portal. It depends on a connected WhatsApp Business Account and is limited by region and hub tier. (check in your portal: confirm WhatsApp marketing channel availability and country coverage for your account before building the WhatsApp branch)
