Hi,

I’m new to HubSpot but I thought I could get some advice and answers here.

We’re looking to create a Customer/Contact Preference center. So a contact can view their Email subscriptions, opt in and out etc. I was planning on creating a template that uses the default HubSpot modules.

Would there be a way for the customer to access this page without clicking a link in an email they have received or would I have to create a bespoke page and use HubSpot’s API to hook in?

Thanks

Hey [@benji\_thecroc](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/54367) welcome to the HubSpot Community 🙂

@cbsembler, @paxton what would you reccommend this as best practice? I want to confirm the approach before connecting some designers to help with implementation.

The limitation with a custom email preferences page is that there is not an API to subscribe someone only one to unsubscribe, as you will see on [this developers forum post](https://integrate.hubspot.com/t/has-anyone-tried-to-build-a-custom-email-preference-page/413). It was originally designed this way for security reasons. However, we are underway with a complete overhaul for our subscription management system and this is something that may change in the near future. Therefore I would advise you use the default email preferences page accesible through email only for the next four months or so, in lieue of the new communications control center.
