To clean your email list in Systeme.io: Filter Contacts by 'Last activity' older than 60-90 days who have not clicked or opened emails. Apply an 'Inactive-Sunset' tag, launch a 2-part re-engagement sequence, and delete or unsubscribe unengaged contacts to keep bounce rates under 1.5%.

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

Follow these sequential phases in your Systeme.io dashboard to configure this feature properly.

1

Step 1: Filter Inactive Contacts

In Contacts > Contacts, use the search filters to isolate subscribers registered more than 90 days ago with zero email opens.

2

Step 2: Apply a Re-engagement Tag

Tag these subscribers with 'Sunset-Review' so they can be isolated from normal high-frequency weekly newsletters.

3

Step 3: Deploy a Final Re-permission Campaign

Send a polite 1-question email: 'Do you still want to hear from us?' with a one-click confirmation link.

4

Step 4: Unsubscribe or Remove Non-Responders

Bulk select non-responsive contacts and choose 'Delete' or 'Unsubscribe' to protect domain reputation.

5

Step 5: Verify Sender Score & Deliverability

Monitor bounce rates in your dashboard to ensure delivery rates remain above 98% across Google and Yahoo.

Verification Milestone:Once completed, run an end-to-end test in a private browsing window to verify page loading speeds, tag assignments, and email delivery.
