Daily Limit sets how many prospects can be enrolled in the first step of your campaign.

The daily sending limit is the maximum number of opening emails (or steps) that can be sent out (or created) within 24 hours in one campaign with one email account.

You can change it in the campaign edit mode at any time. Just click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the page and adjust the number of prospects enrolled daily to your needs.

In the Email Account Settings, under the Sending section, you can find two other limits which will determine how many emails you will be able to send through your email account daily.

You can enter the Email Account Settings by clicking on the gear icon next to the email address connected to Woodpecker.

There, choose the Sending section from the menu on the left side.

In the Sending section, you’ll find two limits: daily and hourly. The daily limit sets how many emails, including both opening emails and follow-ups, can go out in the 24h period through a connected email account.

Hourly limit tells Woodpecker how many emails our app can send in one hour. This limit is dictated by set intervals between each email sent. Keep its value in mind when selecting sending hours for your campaign.

You can change both of those limits by simply putting your desired numbers instead of our default ones.

Don’t forget to save your new configuration.

The last limit that you need to keep in mind while sending emails through Woodpecker is sending limits set by your email provider.
