The DND (Do Not Disturb) function permits you to retain Contact details while respecting their communication preferences. In some cases, Contacts may opt-out of certain communications but you may still want to keep their information. You can choose to enable or disable DND manually for specific communication channels or all channels within your system based on a Contact’s preferences.
By using the DND feature, you can avoid annoying your contacts who don’t wish to be disturbed and keep their information in your records. Additionally, respecting your contact’s communication preferences may reduce the chance of your emails or SMS communications being marked as spam. This will help your future communications from your system to run smoothly.
To enable or disable the DND feature, you can do it manually for a contact or allow them to self-enable it by unsubscribing. Here are the steps to learn how to enable or disable DND, along with some useful tips:

If they indicate that they still wish to receive messages via specific platforms, you can manually adjust their DND status for each channel by selecting the checkboxes, and re-enable communication on those channels.
