How Can Users Opt Out from Text/Email Alerts?

Users who do not wish to receive text and email alerts have methods to remove themselves as a recipient.

Overview:

Recipients can opt out of supported text or email notifications using the options made available by their organization. An opt-out generally affects eligibility for a sending method; it does not, by itself, delete the recipient record or remove all notification-list memberships.

Unsubscribing via Text Message

To opt out of text alerts, reply STOP to a received notification message. Follow any confirmation instructions if provided. A successful SMS opt-out may prevent future attempts to that number, including matching institution recipient records. It does not necessarily remove the recipient from stored lists. Contact your organization's notification administrator if messages continue unexpectedly.

Unsubscribing via Email

Use the Unsubscribe link included in the email footer. Follow the linked page instructions, including any requested email-address confirmation. A successful opt-out affects email contact eligibility; it does not itself delete the recipient record or all notification-list subscriptions. Exact screens and choices depend on institution configuration.

Managing public notification preferences

Where the organization provides a preferences page, recipients may choose which public notification lists to receive. This is separate from administrator-managed private list membership. If an Unsubscribe From All option appears, it may record opt-outs for email and available phone methods within the institution. Availability depends on organization settings.

If a recipient opted out accidentally

Contact your notification administrator. Authorized portal users can review Opt Outs settings and, where appropriate, resubscribe specific opted-out contact methods. Resubscribing does not repair incorrect email or phone contact data or restore missing list membership.

Why messages might continue or stop

Email and phone contact methods may have separate opt-out states. List membership can span multiple public and private lists, while opt-out records can still suppress a sending method. Ask an administrator to review the chosen sending method, affected contact value, targeted lists and recipient preferences. Do not assume a successful submission or delivery attempt guarantees receipt.

Important limitation

The exact preference links, controls and permissions depend on your institution. This article does not establish universal emergency-message exceptions or a specific relationship between SMS and voice-call opt-out behavior. Contact your organization for its approved communication policy.
