What is the consent request banner?
The consent request banner is used to automatically solicit express consent in an effort to minimize expiry of consent. It appears on top of every email only for contacts whose consent status is not set to "express consent".
How to enable the consent request banner
Check the "Show consent banner in emails" checkbox on the account settings page.
After enabling the consent request banner, it will be automatically added only to messages sent to contacts who have not yet provided express consent.
It is possible to selectively show the consent banner only to Canadian contacts.
Consent banner location
The banner is shown on top of emails by default but you can move it anywhere in the message by using the following macro anywhere in your email: {@consent-banner}
The "update settings" link takes contacts to the subscription preferences page.
Customizing the consent banner
Step 1: Select the text {@consent-banner-linktext}
Step 2: Remove the formatting by clicking the "Tx" button.
Step 3: Click the "Button style" button, and choose a new colour.
