All products and plans

You can remove an opt-out of email status that was added manually by a user in your HubSpot account. This action can only be applied to contacts who were opted out manually from the contact record, through an opt-out list, via the Salesforce integration, or through a subscription status update via a workflow

Please note: contacts who have opted out of your marketing emails can take action to resubscribe to your emails or update their email preferences. This includes contacts who have unsubscribed from marketing emails sent from your HubSpot account, and contacts whose opt-out status was manually changed by a HubSpot user.
