Attentive email verification options
When mailfloss finds an invalid email in Attentive, the Cleanup tab decides what happens. The setting applies to the whole connection, and you can change it any time.
- Ask me first. The safest option. mailfloss lists invalid emails in Waiting for you, and nothing changes in Attentive until you decide.
- Report only. mailfloss emails you the results. Nothing changes in Attentive.
- Update a field. mailfloss sets custom attributes on the subscriber in Attentive, so your segments can exclude invalid emails. This is reversible. Available on the Pro plan or as an add-on.
- Unsubscribe. The recommended option. mailfloss unsubscribes the address from Attentive marketing email, without sending an unsubscribe notification. Only the email channel changes; SMS subscriptions stay as they are. To resubscribe, the subscriber has to opt in again.
Attentive has no Delete option. Attentive's only delete is a privacy deletion, not list cleanup.
Typo Fixer works alongside every option: when an address has a common typo, such as gmial.com, mailfloss subscribes the corrected address through your API sign-up unit and unsubscribes the misspelled one, instead of treating it as invalid. Typo Fixer needs an Attentive sign-up unit ID on the Typo Fixer tab.
Fields mailfloss writes
Update a field writes these custom attributes: mf_validation_passed, mf_reason, mf_status, mf_flossed_on, mf_suggestion, mf_fixed, mf_score and mf_mode. mailfloss writes mf_suggestion, mf_fixed and mf_score only when they have a value.
