I'm using Adobe CF 2016 on windows. I use cfmail to send emails but I'm looking for a tutorial on how I can update my database from an email subscriber  who wants to unsubscribe from my newsletter?

thanks.

    Hello, College Kid​, welcome to Adobe forums.

    What you seek is simple enough, as long as each subscribed user has a unique ID in the database.

    Have the user click an unsubscribe link that will send an email to that user that contains a link that has their unique ID as part of the URL parameters.  When that link is clicked, the resulting page will ask the user to confirm that they want to unsubscribe.  When the user clicks the confirmation button/link, then that will trigger an action page that will update the database to reflect the removal.

    HTH,
