Automate Mautic Unsubscribes from Gmail Emails

This n8n workflow automates the handling of automated unsubscribe emails from Gmail, targeting businesses using Mautic for email marketing. It detects emails with 'unsubscribe' in the To field (e.g., hello+unsubscribe_6629823aa976f053068426@example.com), extracts the original email address, retrieves the contact ID from Mautic, removes the contact from the 'newsletter' segment, adds them to the 'unsubscribed' segment, and sends a confirmation email.

Key benefits include ensuring GDPR/CAN-SPAM compliance by honoring unsubscribe requests without manual intervention, maintaining clean mailing lists to improve deliverability, and saving time for marketing teams dealing with high-volume emails. It's particularly useful for campaigns where recipients use Gmail's one-click unsubscribe feature instead of links.

Use cases span e-commerce, SaaS, newsletters, and crypto marketing (e.g., DeFi projects promoting via email). Setup requires Gmail credentials, Mautic API access, segment IDs, and a public n8n endpoint for the trigger. This prevents bounced emails and reduces complaint rates, boosting sender reputation.
