Consent & Compliance controls how marketing opt-outs are enforced across a workspace. Suppression enforcement is always active. Workspace owners and admins configure the mode under Settings → Data → Suppression; other members have read-only access.

Universal opt-out

An opt-out received on any channel creates an all scope. The linked contact is suppressed from marketing outreach on voice, SMS, email, and supported messaging channels. Universal mode is the conservative default and remains available on every plan.

Per-channel opt-out

An opt-out applies only to the originating channel. For example, an SMS opt-out blocks SMS marketing while independent voice or email consent can remain usable. Per-channel mode requires the Consent & Compliance plan feature. If that feature is unavailable, the workspace remains in universal mode; suppression enforcement is never disabled.
Changing the workspace mode does not silently rewrite historical suppression records. Every entry retains its scope and mode_at_opt_out, so the rule applied when the contact opted out remains auditable.

Suppression records

An active record can be linked to a contact ID, phone number, or email address. It includes:
  • scope: all or the affected channel;
  • origin_channel: where the opt-out was received;
  • purpose: currently marketing;
  • source, reason, and creation time;
  • mode_at_opt_out: the workspace mode captured at the time of the opt-out.
Listing with a channel filter returns both that channel’s records and universal (all) records, because both block outreach on the requested channel. Restoring consent does not erase compliance history. The active suppression is revoked and an opt-in event is appended to the audit trail. Use the suppression entry UUID whenever possible. A URL-encoded E.164 phone number or email address is also accepted, but the UUID is deterministic when a contact has multiple channel-specific entries.
Only restore consent when you have an appropriate, documented basis to do so. Product settings assist with enforcement but do not replace legal review for your jurisdiction, outreach purpose, and communication channel.

REST API

Read or update the workspace mode:
Record an opt-out:
The suppression API accepts at least one of contact_id, phone, or email. When channel is omitted, phone defaults to voice and email defaults to email. Use GET /api/v1/suppression-list?channel=sms to list records that block SMS. Restore one record with DELETE /api/v1/suppression-list/{id-or-identity}. REST scopes are settings:read / settings:write for the mode and suppression:read / suppression:write for records.

MCP

  • get_consent_mode and set_consent_mode;
  • list_suppression_entries;
  • add_suppression_entry;
  • remove_suppression_entry (restores consent and retains the audit trail).
All MCP results use the same public-payload sanitizer as the REST API.
