How do I find unsubscribe requests in replies?
- Export the replies from your sending tool as a CSV or .xlsx, or paste the cells with the header row first. It needs an Email column and a column of reply text.
- Press Find the opt-out requests and read the counts by language.
- Download the suppression list, or the opt-out rows with the phrase that matched.
- Add the suppression list to every campaign before the next send.
Example
- You enter
- Example replies from six addresses: Please remove me from your list, Bitte aus dem Verteiler austragen, Merci mais ne me contactez plus, No me envien mas correos, a request for pricing and a polite not now.
- You get
- Six rows read: 4 opt-out requests and 2 others. One each is found in English, German, French and Spanish; the pricing request and the not now are not found.
- Limits
- Runs in your browser. Only the phrases on the page are matched.
Which phrases does it look for?
Plain requests to stop: words such as unsubscribe, remove me, stop emailing and do not contact in English, with the same kinds of phrase in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. Accents and punctuation are ignored, so désabonner and desabonner match alike. The phrase that matched is written next to each row.
Why ignore quoted history?
A reply often repeats your own email below it, including an unsubscribe line. The tool drops lines that start with > and everything under a line like On Mon, ... wrote:, so only the person's own words count.
To sort replies into interested, out of office and referral, use the cold email reply sorter.
What should you do with an opt-out?
Add the address to a suppression list and keep it there across every campaign and tool. See how to build a cold email suppression list and, to join lists, the suppression list merger.

What can’t this tool tell you?
- It matches phrases in seven languages; other languages are not found.

Common questions
- Which languages are covered?
- English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch. A reply in another language is not found.
- Will it catch every opt-out?
- No. It matches the phrases it knows, so a request worded another way is missed. Read replies the tool did not find if the list matters.
- Can it flag a reply that says do not unsubscribe me?
- It matches phrases only and does not read negation, so check the rows it finds before suppressing.
- Which column does it read?
- A column whose header says reply, message, body, text, response or content, otherwise the column with the most text.
- Can I upload a reply export from my sending tool?
- Yes, any CSV or .xlsx with an email column and a reply text column.
- Is my list uploaded anywhere?
- No. It is read in your browser.
A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.
Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
- Upload the cleaned file as it is: CSVs up to 100,000 rows
- A real SMTP mailbox check on every row, with catch-all detection
