Communication Limits & Operational Emails

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a requirement to limit communications to 1 email per day. What I would like to know is that do communication limits by pass if the email is set to operational?

Thanks,

Kait

Hey Kaitlyn Butler​, unfortunately no. Operational emails are still considered in daily communication limits. There is an idea out to vote on changing this:

Let me know if this helps!

HiKim Butler​,

There is no automatic way for operational ​emails to bypass communication limits but you can ignore the communication limits before scheduling the send. Hope this helps.

Just to clarify, what I think you're asking is if someone has met their communication limit, will they still receive an operational email. In that case, the answer is yes. Operational emails will be sent regardless of communication limits.

What Allison is referring to is that operational emails count towards the communication limits. So if you send an operational email and have a non-operational email sent shortly afterwards, you may run into your communication limit with the operational email. This is a consideration if you send confirmation emails for registrations. The confirmations could block people from receiving non-operational emails.

Hope that helps!
