Survey respondents may choose to unsubscribe from surveys by clicking on the unsubscribe link in an email invitation, or by replying to an SMS invitation with the unsubscribe keyword. Whilst the Control Panel mailer automatically handles unsubcribes (anyone who has unsubscribed will be automatically excluded from future mailouts), details of those no longer willing to participate in surveys should be passed back to the source (or owner) of the sample so that they can update their database accordingly. This can be done by exporting the unsubscribes for the project.
