Suppression List is one of the modules of Zoho Campaigns Email API that can be accessed from the left Navigation Toolbar.

What is a Suppression List?

Uses of Suppression List

Some of the uses of keeping a suppression list include:

• Maintaining the reputation of your domain: If you continue to send emails to those recipients who are uninterested or who have already marked you as spam, your sender domain's reputation will take a severe hit. To prevent that from happening, a suppression list is necessary.
• Maintaining the reputation of your IP: Similar to domain reputation maintenance, it is crucial that your IP is also on the safer side instead of being blacklisted. Suppression list allows you to do just that.
• Sending emails to only the intended recipients: If you maintain a suppression list, you'd not be sending email campaigns to unintended or unneeded recipients. This helps in having a clean recipient list showing interest in what you send to them.

Adding via API

Suppression Labels

Each suppression email that gets added in the Suppression List module will have a label associated with them to indicate how the email was added. Currently, there are two labels: Bounce and Manual.

Bounce: These email addresses are automatically added by the system when an email address to which email campaigns are sent suffers from a hard bounce. These email addresses can't be deleted by the user.

Manual: These email addresses are manually added by the user inside the Suppression List module of Zoho Campaigns Email API. These email addresses can be deleted.

Deleting an email in Suppression List

To delete an email from the suppression list:

1. Click Suppression List from the Navigation Toolbar to the left.
   
   
   
   

2. Click the trash icon on the right and choose Delete.
