Why Exporting From Campaign Reports May Not Be Accurate

If you have been downloading the unsubscribe csv from your campaign statistics, be wary because:

1. That list is ONLY triggered by the unsubscribe link at the very very bottom of each campaign. This ensures that we meet legislative requirements as per the one click unsubscribe rule.
2. As a campaign strategy and subscriber retention strategy we encourage and design for the subscriber console. Most clients have preferences that their subscribers can select. We facilitate this via the subscriber console (my preferences). By having options and not just an unsubscribe link this works as a retention strategy. 
3. Users that unsubscribe via the console do NOT appear in the campaign metrics  unsubscribe csv. 
4. Often users will read a campaign many weeks or even months later. If they unsubscribe at a later time then unless you go back to eache campaign report and check if there is a delta, you will miss any updated information.
