Learn how to remove globally suppressed and unsubscribed profiles from a list, so your list contains only active, emailable profiles.

About suppressed profiles

If you send a campaign email to a list and a recipient unsubscribes, they are removed from that list. However, when someone unsubscribes from a flow email or a campaign sent to a segment, this person becomes suppressed in the sender's Klaviyo account. The user is considered globally suppressed, meaning their profile will remain intact and appear in lists, but they will no longer receive emails.

For example, if your main email list has 500 people on it but 5% are globally suppressed, then when you send a campaign to this list, Klaviyo will automatically skip those suppressed users and you'll notice 475 emails were sent.

This process applies only to email subscriptions. SMS consent is not considered or updated when global suppressions are cleaned from a list.
