About consent
If a profile wants to receive communication regarding a specific topic over a specific channel (email or SMS), they must first give consent. The consent information is saved in APSIS One on a profile level along with the topic and the channel the consent is given for.
The following consent types are supported by APSIS One:
opt-in- profile permits communicationopt-out- profile forbids any communicationpending-opt-in- communication permission waits for the profile to confirm it (not supported by APSIS One API yet)confirmed-opt-in- profile permits communication which they also confirmed (not supported by APSIS One API yet)
Confirming the consent, also known as double opt-in, is usually done via a link in an email that is sent to the profile.

Suppression
In development
This feature is currently in development and it's not meant to be used yet
Suppression is the APSIS One feature that allows users to block any communication to a specific address. It takes priority over any profile consents. Useful when one of your customers calls you and requests to halt all communication.
As a result, for a profile to receive any marketing communication from the APSIS One platform, two conditions must be met:
- an opt-in or confirmed opt-in consent for a specific topic over a specific channel must exist on the profile
- the address must not be suppressed
Note that consent is given on the profile level whereas suppression works on the address level.
This APSIS One API endpoint provides information about the existing suppression, if any. Existing suppression for the address that is used as profile_key is always returned. If you need to check if any suppression exists for another address, use suppression_channel_discriminator and suppression_address query string parameters.
In the example response, despite being subscribed to a topic over two channels, the profile will only receive email communication since the address on the SMS channel is suppressed.
