Hi Nikhil Sharma​,

Be careful about the specifics - if a person has unsubscribed, you legally need to honor that preference. What you're describing sounds like you want to mark a person as 'marketing suspended' for a time period.

I agree with @David Gaible​'s warning about unsubscribed vs. Marketing Suspended.

I have a field called 60 day suspended (boolean). If people choose to remove themselves from emails for 60 days, it's part of my workflow to remove those people from emails. In my case, I use "Smart List = Marketable" for all emails to remove inactives, unsubscribes, etc. So I just include 60 day suspended to that smart list (specifically 60 day suspended is NOT true) and they're removed from emails automatically.

Then I have a program that pulls in everyone who has that checkbox marked, a 60 day waitstep then unmarks the checkbox.
