The \"Deactivate a Contact\" capability in Vision6 is built for this exact purpose: it stops emails from being sent to a contact while preserving the record of interactions, preferences, and campaign history that your team may need later. For operations leaders and marketing teams, that combination of silence and memory means better compliance, smarter segmentation, and clearer insights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBeyond the immediate task of removing a recipient from active sends, this feature supports broader business priorities: protecting sender reputation, reducing waste, and enabling personalized, respectful communication strategies.

This lets you exclude them from future campaigns and automated sequences without losing data such as past opens, clicks, bounces, and subscription timestamps. The record stays available for audits, segmentation decisions, or reactivation at a later date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eOperationally, deactivation is a safer alternative to deletion. Deleting removes the data entirely and can obscure why a contact disappeared—was it a hard bounce, a request from the customer, or an accidental cleanup? Deactivation keeps provenance clear and gives your compliance, analytics, and sales teams the context they need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Power of AI \u0026amp; Agentic Automation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eLayering AI and agentic automation onto contact management turns what used to be a rules-based, manual process into a proactive, intelligent system. Instead of relying on spreadsheets, human review, or ad-hoc lists, AI agents continuously monitor engagement signals and trigger deactivation workflows when appropriate.
