Use this interactive demo to learn how to replace the default footer in your ActiveCampaign email campaigns.

Quick summary

Removing the default footer in ActiveCampaign requires adding a custom text block with an Unsubscribe Link and Sender Info personalization tag above the existing footer, which automatically replaces it. This step-by-step process lets you fully control your email footer's appearance while staying compliant with email regulations.


Steps

  1. In the email campaign editor, open the right-side panel, select a Text block from the Content section, and drag it to the section above the default footer.
  2. Double-click the new text field to enter editing mode.
  3. Click Personalization Tags in the top menu bar.
  4. Under the Message section, select Unsubscribe Link from the available options.
  5. Return to the text block and write a custom message to label or style your Unsubscribe Link.
  6. Add a new line below the Unsubscribe Link section.
  7. Click Personalization Tags again and select List Sender Info from the Message section, choosing either Single Line or Multiple Lines.
  8. Write a unique message describing the Sender Info in your custom footer block.
  9. Once complete, the default footer is automatically removed and your custom text block serves as the new footer.

📌 Why this matters

The default footer in ActiveCampaign emails can limit brand consistency and reduce control over how your unsubscribe and sender information is presented to subscribers. By replacing it with a fully customized text block using Personalization Tags, marketers can maintain CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliance while delivering a branded, professional email experience. This capability is essential for businesses that want granular control over every element of their email design without sacrificing legal compliance. Learning how to remove the default footer in ActiveCampaign is a key skill for any email marketer looking to elevate campaign quality.
