    You'll have the option to enforce opt-ins when determining Email Eligibility for triggered campaigns, while all Promotional/Batch campaigns default to enforce explicit opt-ins. When this is available in your account, you'll navigate to the flag icon > Communicate > Communicate Settings > Email Eligibility to view your settings and reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you’d like to make a change.
