What action options does Valid Email Checker offer for GetResponse? (Tag / Unsubscribe / Delete)

When you pick a GetResponse Campaign and switch the Valid Email Checker modal to Clean List Automatically, three actions are available per result category. The dropdown labels read Keep, Unsubscribe, and Delete. The category rows (Invalid, Disposable, Catch-all, Unknown, Risky) match every other integration. The GetResponse-specific behavior is how each action lands inside your account.

How each action behaves

• Keep — VEC writes nothing back. The contact stays put. Tags, custom fields, autoresponder position, and historical campaign engagement are untouched.
• Unsubscribe — VEC calls the GetResponse API to flip the contact to Unsubscribed status on the verified Campaign. Custom fields, tags, and engagement history remain. The contact stops receiving any broadcasts or autoresponders but stays in the Campaign.
• Delete — VEC removes the contact from the verified Campaign. Other Campaigns the contact appears in are unaffected (unless the contact existed only on that one Campaign, in which case GetResponse treats it as a full account-level removal).

Default settings

The defaults are the same as every non-ConvertKit integration. Only Invalid and Disposable are enabled out of the box.

Use the Use Recommended Settings link to snap back to defaults at any moment. Pair this with the list selection covered in how to select a GetResponse list to verify.

What GetResponse preserves on Unsubscribe

• Custom fields — every contact custom field stays attached.
• Tags — preserved on the contact record.
• Autoresponder position — GetResponse remembers where in an autoresponder sequence each contact was. Unsubscribe preserves that position; Delete clears it.
• Historical campaign engagement — opens and clicks remain for reporting.

Why the title says Tag and the UI says Keep

Tag/Unsubscribe/Delete is industry shorthand for the three behaviors. Valid Email Checker uses Keep in the actual modal because that label honestly describes what happens — nothing gets written. Some other vendors silently tag every contact with their results regardless of category; VEC leaves your GetResponse data alone unless you explicitly choose Unsubscribe or Delete.

The Risky category on GetResponse

Risky bundles risky, spamtrap, and role_account from the engine. GetResponse closely monitors sender reputation across its shared infrastructure. Enabling Risky with Unsubscribe is the safe move — spam traps in particular damage reputation faster than any other category.
