Who this is for

Authors deciding the right category for each cadence.

Overview

Two categories with different compliance behavior.

How it works

Marketing cadences

  • Newsletter, launch announcements, promotional content
  • Respects opt-out — readers who unsubscribed will not receive
  • Includes unsubscribe link in footer
  • Includes one-click unsubscribe headers for inbox-native unsubscribe
  • Subject to workspace rate limits

Transactional cadences

  • Functional messages: ARC download links, order confirmations, password resets, signup confirmations
  • Bypasses opt-out — even unsubscribed readers receive these
  • No unsubscribe link required
  • No special compliance headers
Setting the type: Cadence creation dialog or edit settings.

Compliance enforcement: Marketing sends check both the workspace opt-out list (one-time unsubscribes) and the reader’s can_receive_marketing_emails flag (set on profile or via ARC signup checkbox).
