Preference groups help you organize your email subscriptions into different sets of subscription settings. Each preference group has its own preference pages, subscription types, and footer addresses.
How preference groups work
Preference groups allow you to organize your subscription types and footer addresses together. You can also optionally associate a brand domain or assign access to the preference group for a specific team. After you've created the preference group, you can select it when you're creating a marketing email, which will then allow you to select a subscription type and footer address from that preference group.
By creating multiple preference groups and associating each one with a different brand domain, your contacts can manage their subscriptions to each brand domain independently. For example, if a contact is subscribed to Brand A and Brand B, then unsubscribes to all marketing emails from Brand A, they will still be subscribed to Brand B.
Please note:
- You cannot currently use preference groups with double opt-in emails or resubscription via form.
- You cannot add custom styling to a group's subscription preferences page.
- If you want to see a preview of how your email or subscription settings page will appear to contact belonging to a certain preference group, you'll need to send the email to yourself as a contact who's subscribed to that preference group. Sending a test email will not reflect the preference group you chose when drafting the email.
Create a preference group
You can create and manage preference groups in your settings:

- If you're part of the multilingual subscription preference beta, click the Languages dropdown menu to select the languages you want your preference pages translated into.
