How to delete or forget a contact

In Mailcamp, the visible contact-management action in the standard audience workflow is delete or remove the contact. The current user-facing contact flow does not appear to expose a separate "forget contact" action with different behavior from delete.

How to delete a contact

  • Open the audience that contains the contact.
  • Go to the contacts list.
  • Find the contact you want to remove.
  • Use the contact action menu and choose Delete.
  • Confirm the action when Mailcamp asks for confirmation.

Delete from the contact profile

  • You can also open the contact profile or edit view.
  • From the profile actions menu, use the remove contact option if that is the workflow you prefer.

What happens after deletion

  • The contact is removed from that audience record.
  • Audience cached statistics are updated after the deletion.
  • If you delete many contacts, Mailcamp processes those removals and refreshes audience information.

Important note about "forget" wording

  • If you are using "forget" as a privacy or compliance term, confirm your internal policy before treating it as something different from a normal delete.
  • Based on the visible Mailcamp audience workflow, the available action is deletion or removal of the contact record.

Best practice

  • Delete contacts carefully, because this is different from simply unsubscribing them.
  • If you only want to stop sending campaigns, unsubscribing may be the better action.
  • If you no longer want the contact record in the audience, deletion is the more appropriate option.

A simple way to think about it is this: in Mailcamp, unsubscribe keeps the record but stops normal campaign sending, while delete removes the contact from the audience record you are managing.
