You can add an unsubscribe link to your emails using templates that are sent from the Contact / Activity / Deal page or using compose email in Inbox or Gmail chrome Extensions and mobile applications.
This link allows recipients to opt out of receiving such emails from your account. Adding unsubscribe links to your email communications can help you move toward compliance with spam laws (e.g., CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CASL) and improve email deliverability by allowing unengaged recipients a way to opt-out.
