Unsubscribed People
Unsubscribed people are people who have opted out from receiving emails from you.
Unsubscribed people do not count toward the total number of people on your billing plan.
There are 4 common unsubscribe reasons:
- Person clicked on an Unsubscribe link in one of your emails.
- Person reported one of your emails as spam.
- Person's email address is invalid. We validate this when we send an email to a person.
- Email bounced. Along with the technical reason for bouncing.
How to see unsubscribed people?

The Change Field Action Step has to be set with the value "False":
Can I create Flows with unsubscribed people?
Absolutely! An unsubscribed person is someone who has opted out from receiving your emails, but you can still create marketing automation campaigns with them.
For example, you can add unsubscribed people to a Facebook ads audience or reach out to them manually by creating a sales task in your HubSpot CRM.
