Opt-out management for compliant SMS and RCS messaging
Why it matters

Consent you can prove... opt-outs you can trust

Under GDPR and telecom regulations, every recipient must be able to unsubscribe at any time. SendRCS makes compliance effortless: multiple opt-out methods, automatic processing, and a full record of who unsubscribed and when - all handled for you in the background.

Opt-out methods

Six ways your contacts can opt out

Cover every preference and every channel - from a single keyword to a tappable button - with opt-outs processed automatically the moment they arrive.

STOP keyword triggers

Let contacts unsubscribe with a single word. When someone replies with your keyword - "STOP" by default, or any word you choose - SendRCS opts them out instantly. Matching is case-insensitive and works on both SMS replies and RCS messages.

Unsubscribe links

Drop an {{unsubscribe_link}} into any SMS or RCS message and SendRCS generates a unique, secure link for every recipient. One click takes them to your unsubscribe page - no login, no friction, no support tickets.

Custom unsubscribe pages

Make the opt-out experience your own. Customise every heading, message and button, host it on your own domain or on our default page, and show it as a clean pop-up or embedded inline. Contacts who return simply see an "already unsubscribed" confirmation.

Unsubscribe buttons

On RCS, add a tappable unsubscribe button straight into your rich message. Recipients opt out with a single tap - no typing required - for the smoothest, most modern unsubscribe experience available in mobile messaging.

Move to groups on opt-out

Automatically move opted-out contacts into a dedicated group such as "Unsubscribed" or "Do Not Contact." Optionally remove them from all other groups in one step, so they're instantly excluded from future campaigns.

Block contacts on opt-out

Choose what happens the moment someone opts out: block the contact so no future messages can be sent, or remove them entirely. Blocked contacts keep their history for your records but are automatically excluded from every send.

How it works

Opt-outs, handled automatically

Four steps from unsubscribe request to a fully compliant contact list.

1

Contact opts out

Via a STOP keyword, unsubscribe link, or RCS button - on SMS or RCS.

2

SendRCS confirms

An optional automated reply reassures the contact that they've been unsubscribed.

3

Your rules apply

The contact is blocked, moved to a group, or removed, exactly as you configured.

4

Your list stays clean

Future campaigns automatically skip opted-out contacts, keeping you compliant.

Is SendRCS opt-out management GDPR-compliant?

Yes. SendRCS gives every recipient a clear, one-step way to withdraw consent and processes every opt-out automatically, so you meet GDPR and telecom consent requirements without manual effort.

Can I customise the STOP keyword?

Absolutely. "STOP" is the default, but you can set any keyword you like. Matching is case-insensitive, so replies like "stop", "Stop" or "STOP" are all recognised.
