Customizable unsubscription process on mass mailing emails

With this module you can set a custom unsubscribe link appended at the bottom of mass mailing emails.

It also displays a beautiful and simple unsubscription form when somebody unsubscribes, to let you know why and let the user unsubscribe form another mailing lists at the same time; and then displays a beautiful and customizable goodbye message.

Configuration

Unsubscription Message In Mail Footer

To configure unsubscribe label go to Settings > Technical > Parameters > System parameters and add a mass_mailing.unsubscribe.label parameter with HTML to set at the bottom of mass emailing emails. Including %(url)s variable where unsubscribe link.

For example:

<small>You can unsubscribe <a href="%(url)s">here</a></small>

Additionally, you can disable this link if you set this parameter to False.

If this parameter (mass_mailing.unsubscribe.label) does not exist, the default 'Click to unsubscribe' link will appear, with the advantage that it is translatable via Settings > Translations > Application Terms > Translated terms.

Unsubscription Reasons

You can customize what reasons will be displayed to your unsubscriptors when they are going to unsubscribe. To do it:

Go to Marketing > Configuration > Unsubscription Reasons.
Create / edit / remove / sort as usual.
If Details required is enabled, they will have to fill a text area to continue.

Unsubscription Goodbye Message

Your unsubscriptors will receive a beautier goodbye page. You can customize it with these links after installing the module:

Unsubscription successful.
Unsubscription failed.

Usage

Once configured, just send mass mailings as usual.

If somebody gets unsubscribed, you will see logs about that under Marketing > Mass Mailing > Unsubscriptions.

Known issues / Roadmap

This needs tests.
This custom HTML is not translatable, so as a suggestion, you can define the same text in several languages in several lines.

For example:

<small>[EN] You can unsubscribe <a href="%(url)s">here</a></small><br/>
<small>[ES] Puedes darte de baja <a href="%(url)s">aquí</a></small>

If you use the website_multi module, you will probably find that the views are not visible by default.
This module adds a security hash for mass mailing unsubscription URLs, which makes to not work anymore URLs of mass mailing messages sent before its installation. If you need backwards compatibility, disable this security feature by removing the mass_mailing.salt system parameter. To avoid breaking current installations, you will not get a salt if you are upgrading the addon. If you want a salt, create the above system parameter and assign a random value to it.
Security should be patched upstream. Remove security features in the version where https://github.com/odoo/odoo/pull/12040 gets merged (if it does).
