Mark bot clicker as unsubscribed
How Leo detects security-scanner clicks and removes them from your audience to protect deliverability and analytics accuracy.
How Leo detects security-scanner clicks and removes them from your audience to protect deliverability and analytics accuracy.
Corporate inbox security tools (Microsoft SafeLinks, Barracuda, Mimecast, Proofpoint URL Defense) automatically click every link in every email — generating fake clicks that pollute your engagement metrics and trick your sequence into treating bots as warm leads.
Leo (ACT-004) detects these patterns and marks the lead as unsubscribed with reason `bot_filter`, so your replies and click-through analytics reflect real human behaviour only.
How does Leo know it is a bot?
Any of: ≥3 unique links clicked in <2s, click event with no open event, scanner User-Agent string, or click sourced from a known datacenter IP.
What if a real human is wrongly flagged?
Open the lead and click "Resubscribe" — the inverse restores `status = cold` and clears the reason.
Does this affect campaigns retroactively?
No — the lead is removed from future sends only. Past send / open / click rows are kept for audit.

About AutoEmails and Leo
AutoEmails is an AI email marketing platform built around Leo, an autonomous AI email marketing agent. Leo analyses your business, finds the right audience, writes and designs emails, launches campaigns and reports on replies, meetings, orders and revenue.
The platform covers three engines in one account: Outreach, which finds new companies or decision makers and emails them with personalised plain-text messages and follow-ups; Marketing, which sends designed HTML newsletters and campaigns to your own contacts; and Automations, which run triggered email journeys such as welcome series, abandoned cart recovery and re-engagement.
Leo works autonomously within guardrails. It can suggest and launch campaigns, resend to non-openers, expand targeting when a lead scan falls short and pause sending when deliverability signals such as bounce or spam-complaint rates rise. Every action is logged with an evidence trail so you can see what Leo did and why.
AutoEmails connects to Shopify, WooCommerce, WordPress, Calendly, Google Analytics, Google Search Console and custom e-commerce stores, so campaigns can be measured on real outcomes: replies and booked meetings for lead generation, and orders and revenue for e-commerce.
Pricing is capacity-based in British pounds, starting with a free plan. You can start free at autoemails.com without a credit card, let Leo scan your business and review the first campaign before anything is sent.
