Account and Campaign Limits

Learn how to set individual limits for your campaigns and accounts

Updated over 3 weeks ago

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:

60 emails/day (2 × 30)
