Unsubscribes & Bounces Report

Modified on: Fri, 7 Jul, 2023 at 1:19 PM


You can find the complete list of customer emails that have unsubscribed in the Unsubscribe section under Campaigns on the menu. It displays email / phone number / domain and date of unsubscribe. You can also manually add an unsubscribe to this list and download the data in the page.



Additionally, you can report on Unsubscribes with our Get Unsubscribe API.



You can also find the complete list of customer emails that have bounced. It displays email, bounce type, bounce date and reason. You can also manually add a bounce to this list and download the data in the page. 




You can filter by the Unsubscribe date or Bounce Date. This date is applicable on the report level, so the dates you add here will be applied on both Unsubscribes and Bounces list. 

The default date range is 1 year rolling period.


How to Unsubscribe a Customer from within CustomerGauge


To manually unsubscribe a customer email address:


1) Go to the Contact Page


Go to the Contact by clicking on the name of the Survey Record. Click in the three dots in the top right and add email or phone to unsubscribes list.




Deleting an Unsubscribe or Bounce


Each email/phone number unsubscribed can be deleted (so the client will receive the surveys again).


In the Contact Page, in the same actions button you can also remove email/phone from unsubscribes list.



Bounce details


There are 2 types of bounces associated with CG sends. Soft and Hard bounces.


A soft bounce normally happens when the receiving Mail Server is temporarily unable to receive the email.  There are several reasons why this would happen. The following are reasons for soft bounces.

  • A server is unavailable or it’s down
  • The server is overloaded
  • The recipient’s mailbox is full
  • Your message size is too big


In this case CG tried to deliver the message again at a later point in time.


A hard bounce is more permanent. A hard bounce removes the subscriber from the list. There are several reasons why an email would hard bounce. The main characteristic though, is that it is a permanent rejection.  Below is a list of the most bounce codes:
