Unsubscribe from Handshake Emails

Jaci
  • Updated
Emails sent via Handshake serve a range of important purposes—everything from transactional tasks like password resets, job application updates, and career fair registrations, to building connections with employers and highlighting relevant jobs, events, and opportunities from your school.

 

Email Domains Used by Handshake

Handshake sends emails from six different domains:

  • joinhandshake.com
  • notifications.joinhandshake.com
  • mail.joinhandshake.com
  • m.joinhandshake.com
  • g.joinhandshake.com
  • cm.joinhandshake.com

 

How to Unsubscribe or Manage Your Preferences

If you'd like to stop receiving certain types of emails, the best way is to update your Notification Preferences directly in Handshake. This ensures you don’t miss out on anything important, while still tailoring the messages you receive. For step-by-step guidance, check out Managing Your Notification Preferences. 

 

Unsubscribing via Your Email Inbox

You can also unsubscribe directly from an email. Just scroll to the bottom of the message and choose one of the following:

  • Unsubscribe – This will remove you from that specific type of email, within the domain it was sent from.
  • Manage email preferences – This takes you to your Handshake notification settings page, where you can adjust your email preferences more broadly.

If you choose to Unsubscribe, a new tab will open where you'll need to confirm the action by clicking Unsubscribe again.

💡Note: Unsubscribing this way only affects emails sent from that particular domain. You may still receive messages from other domains unless you unsubscribe from those or update your settings in Handshake.
