Viewing a Profile’s Consent Status in AdRoll
To see if a profile is able to receive email messages and has provided consent, navigate to the profile page.
On the profile page, you’ll see a section called Consent Info. In this section, you’ll see the details regarding the contact’s eligibility to receive email messages.
Eligible for Email
This is a simple, holistic view as to whether or not the contact is eligible to receive email.
| Yes | If the contact has subscribed to be emailed and their email address is valid, they will be eligible. |
| No | If the contact has not subscribed or has specifically unsubscribed after being subscribed, they will not be eligible. Additionally, if a contact has subscribed but AdRoll has identified that their email address is not valid, they will not be eligible. |
Consent Status
This shows details on whether or not the individual contact has given implicit or explicit consent to be emailed by your brand.
| Subscribed | Consent from the contact has been directly observed by AdRoll and the contact is eligible for email marketing. |
| Not Subscribed | Contact has not subscribed to email marketing or consent to be emailed has not been directly observed by AdRoll. |
| Unsubscribed | The contact previously provided consent but then took action to unsubscribe. Alternatively, the contact was unsubscribed by you directly. |
| Pending | The contact requires double opt-in and until the contact confirms their subscription they are not subscribed. |
