Unsubscribed clicks

Hi Florian!
Anastasia here, an ex-Braze lifecycle marketing consultant. Hope your day is going well!
Creating a segment composed of all people who received the relevant message, last engaged with a message at that time, AND whose subscription status is now unsubscribed should give you a strong sense of how many recipients unsubscribed in that particular message.
To get more granular, though, I'd recommend one of two options:
1. Partner with your BI team to run a Currents export of all users who had an Email Unsubscribe event on their profile associated with that message ID. This option would require you have access to Currents.

2. Or, for future messages, use link aliasing to add an alias to your unsub link. Then, you can create a segment of users who click that alias.

Hope this helps!
Thank you for you answer Anastasia.
However, if a user is already "unsubscribed", the date is not updated and it will not be in the segment.
The Currents is a good solution but it requires the BI team which have not the time.
Finally, the alias can work with another links but the "unsubscribed" link ({{${set_user_to_unsubscribed_url}}}) from Braze is not in the list...
So I can conclude it's not possible to flag people who click on {{${set_user_to_unsubscribed_url}}}...
Hi again,
Have you looked into using the "User Update" step in Canvas? If you want to capture and segment by a timestamp users unsubscribe, you can do so through adding a User Update step (which is basically a webhook in Braze to the user profile) that triggers when a user updates their subscription status to "unsubscribed." Important note that updates to the user profile, such as adding a date of unsub through a User Update, do take up data points.

Hope this helps.
