By default, we include the contact information you saved in Email Campaign Settings to the footer of every new publish post newsletter body as per Anti-Spam Policy. Since we already added a contact information, it’s only rational you disable that of GetResponse to prevent duplication. To do this, follow the short guide below.

  • In your GetResponse dashboard, click on the gear/wheel icon in the upper right corner next to ‘Your current campaign’.
