It would be sufficient to GET a resource that uses a script to POST the side-effect. Slack's user-agent probably isn't sophisticated enough to mess this up (although heaven help us when they implement their preview with something like headless chrome).
- poizan42 9y agoWhat would the problem be in just showing a button that says "Confirm unsubscribe" that sends a POST request? A lot of sites does something like that for their newsletter unsubscription.
- beobab 9y agoThat would comply with GDPR, and is a valid solution.
- SoulMan 9y agoIt is at least better than asking the email or something even to login to unsubscribe ("update communication preference")
- astura 9y agoI believe asking to login violates the CAN-SPAM Act. That being said, there might be two links, one for "update commication preference" on top and "unsubscribe" in small text at the bottom. I always ignore the first and seek the latter.
- dingo_bat 9y agoI like the one-click URLs though. It irritates me to no end to click unsub, then wait for a page to load then repeat my intention.
- jimktrains2 9y agoI'm actually much more concerned when I don't have to click the link. It let's me know they haven't thought the problem through and what other errors and problems are there in their systems?
