## Update your preferences from an email link

Broadstripes product notification emails include an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it opens a preferences page where you can check or uncheck the email categories you want to receive, then click **Save Preferences** to confirm.

<Note>
  If you follow an unsubscribe link from an email and the link has expired or is invalid, you will see an "Invalid link" message. In that case, update your preferences directly from your account settings page instead.
