Email Preference Center

Let people choose which emails they get without cutting off account-critical mail.

moderate Engagement

What it adds

A preference page covering delivery channels and message categories, with unsubscribe links that work without signing in.

What your agent is told to do

5
  1. 1

    Extend the existing notification preference model rather than forking a second one — this feature adds channels and consent on top of the per-type preferences already there, and two competing sources of truth will drift.

  2. 2

    Split messages into required transactional, optional product notifications, and marketing. Only the last two may be switched off, and the page must say plainly which mail keeps arriving regardless.

  3. 3

    Give every optional email a one-click unsubscribe link that is signed, works with no session, and needs no confirmation step.

  4. 4

    Send List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers on optional mail so mailbox providers can honour a single click, and process those requests the same way as the link.

  5. 5

    Do NOT build the digest schedule here. This owns whether and how a message is delivered; frequency and batching belong to Notification Digests.

Edge cases it handles

6
  • Messages already queued when someone opts out must be re-checked against preferences at send time, not at enqueue time.
  • An unsubscribe link that is forwarded still works. Scope its token to one recipient and one category so it cannot mute someone else's mail.
  • Turning off every optional channel must not silently disable password resets, receipts, or security alerts.
  • Users in more than one workspace need per-workspace settings plus a global off switch, and the global one wins.
  • Record consent changes with a timestamp, source, and IP where regulations require proof.
  • The preference page must render correctly for a signed-out visitor arriving from an email link.

Definition of done

8
  • Preferences extend the existing notification preference model rather than a parallel one.
  • Required transactional mail is clearly separated and cannot be disabled.
  • Every optional email has a signed one-click unsubscribe that works without a session.
  • List-Unsubscribe headers are sent and honoured identically to the link.
  • Preferences are evaluated at send time, so queued mail respects a recent opt-out.
  • Consent changes are recorded with timestamp and source.
  • The feature matches the existing design system.
  • No existing functionality is broken.

    It inspects, then implements

    Your agent reads your existing app first, then adds the feature to fit it.

Works with your stack

These instructions are written to adapt. They tell the agent to detect your framework, match your existing design system, and reuse what you already have — rather than assuming a particular stack.
