Account and Campaign Limits

Learn how to set individual limits for your campaigns and accounts

Updated yesterday

Instantly uses two different limit systems that work together(Warmup emails don't count toward the two limits):

1. Account Limit (Per Email Account)

Maximum campaign emails each individual email account can send per day across all campaigns. Example:

  • Account limit: 30 emails/day

  • Used in 3 campaigns

  • Total across all 3 campaigns: 30 emails max

2. Campaign Limit (Per Campaign)

Maximum total campaign emails that can be sent per day from all accounts in a specific campaign. Example:

  • Campaign limit: 300 emails/day

  • 10 accounts assigned

  • All 10 accounts combined send max 300 emails/day


Setting Account Limits

Control how many campaign emails each individual account can send daily.

  • Go to the Email Accounts dashboard

  • Click on an email account

  • Navigate to the "Settings" section in the pop-up window

  • Scroll to "Daily Campaign limit"

  • Enter your limit (recommended: 30)

  • Click "Save"

If the 'Campaign Slow Ramp' is enabled, the account may not initially reach the daily limit, but gradually increase the sending limit by 2 campaign emails until the maximum daily limit is reached.

Minimum Wait Time Between Campaigns

Prevent the same sending accounts from sending too frequently when used in multiple campaigns.

  • Go to the Email Accounts dashboard

  • Click on an email account

  • Navigate to the "Settings" section in the pop-up window

  • Find "Minimum wait time"

  • Set gap (default: 1 minute)

  • Click "Save"

Example:

  • Account A assigned to Campaign 1 and Campaign 2

  • Minimum wait time: 5 minutes

What happens:

  • Account A sends an email in Campaign 1 at 10:00 AM

  • Account A cannot send in Campaign 2 until 10:05 AM (5 min wait)


Setting Campaign Limits

Control the total daily sending volume for a specific campaign.

  • Go to the Options section of the campaign

  • Scroll down to find the campaign's daily limit

  • Enter your desired limit: Number of accounts × 30 = Recommended campaign limit

  • Click "Save"

Examples:
