Article summary

Email sending limits can trigger concerns with Internet service providers. To maintain a good sender reputation and avoid spam, email limits can be set for various categories like the number of emails per sender, domain, recipient, or within the company. Notifications will alert users when they are close to or have reached their limits. Once the limit is reached, only flow emails will be restricted, while manual emails can still be sent. Auto-scheduled flow emails will be sent the next business day. Gong provides additional strategies for effective email management.

Email sending limits

Sending a large number of emails all at once may raise red flags for Internet service providers. To help your company maintain a healthy sender reputation and avoid getting marked as spam, your admin can set up email limits for the following categories:

  • Number of flow emails from the same sender per day/per week

  • Number of flow emails sent from the same domain (company) per day

  • Number of flow emails sent from your company to the same recipient per day

  • Number of flow emails sent from your company to recipients within the same domain (company) per day

While all types of emails count towards reaching the limit, once it is reached, only flow emails will be limited. Email limits refresh in a rolling 24-hour window, except for Emails from the same sender, which resets at midnight (12 AM) each day according to the user’s time zone, so reps who reach their daily email limit can start sending emails first thing in the morning. Auto emails snoozed by a sending limit will be sent at 8:00 AM user local time.

How will I know when I’ve reached an email limit?

When you’re close to reaching a flow email limit or have reached a limit, we’ll let you know on the To-dos page and inside the email composer.

When you’re close to reaching a flow email limit, you might see one of the following notifications:

  • You're close to your daily limit for flow emails

    You have x flow emails left for today. To keep sending flow emails, schedule them for later.

  • You're close to your weekly limit for flow emails

    You have x flow emails left for this week. To keep sending flow emails, schedule them for later.

  • Your company is close to your daily limit for flow emails

    Your company has x flow emails left for today. To keep sending flow emails, schedule them for later.

When you’ve reached a flow email limit, you might see one of the following notifications:

  • You've reached your daily limit for flow emails

    You can still edit or schedule flow emails. Non-flow emails can still be sent today.

  • You've reached your weekly limit for flow emails

    You can still edit or schedule flow emails. Non-flow emails can still be sent this week.

  • Your company has reached your daily limit for flow emails

    You can still edit or schedule flow emails. Non-flow emails can still be sent today.

  • Your company has reached your daily limit for flow emails to [name]

What happens if you reach an email limit?

While all types of emails count towards reaching the limit, once it is reached, only flow emails will be limited. This means you can continue sending manual emails once the limit is reached.

Flow emails: Edit the email or schedule it to be sent another day

Auto send flow emails: These will be automatically snoozed and sent on the next available business day at 8:00 AM user local time.

Non-flow emails: Even if you reach a limit, you can still send a manual email to someone

In addition to setting email limits, Gong offers more strategies you can use for ensuring your emails are delivered successfully.
