Hi there,

Simplified explained, I have a newsletter.

The email addresses and other user details are saved in Airtable. The content of the newsletter is generated with Airtable automations. I want to send a personalised email to the users asking them if they want to unsubscribe.

Rather than them needing to reply me to me via email I would like to add a button to that email if when clicked would update their status in the Airtable record to "unsubscribed".

Is this possible?

Thanks, Jakob

One of the easiest ways to do this would be with a webhook from Make. The webhook will give you a permanent URL that you can use. Be sure to create a formula in your table that gives everyone a customized version of that URL that includes their Airtable record ID. (for example, the final URL might look something like this: https://www.example.com/?rec=123456, which would be a formula like this in Airtable:

"https://www.example.com?pc=" & RECORD_ID()

Then, you can use the Airtable modules in Make to change their status, and you can give people a customized response in their web browser by using a webhook response in Make.
