Posted on by Zubayer

I have an excel online file with a full list of 4236 users' email addresses. Now I want to send emails to those users from a shared mailbox. I created that list into a table format so that I can get the email addresses as dynamic values using "list rows present in a table" but I want to get/send only 30 emails per session and give 1 min delay and get/send next 31-60 serial emails again with 1 min delay and again 61-90 serial emails.

currently, I am using an easy but time-consuming method by creating multiple tables and

but I need help to create a dynamic flow that will only send email 30 emails after that with a 1 min delay.

Hi @Zubayer

I think a better solution for your problem using just a list with all emails should look like this.

Before the "apply to each", declare a variable, this variable will be our count to know how many emails sent before make a delay.
Then we initialize the "apply to each" and send the email to every email address in the list you select.
Next, we increase our variable by 1 in the apply to each, this means that we have sent 1 email.
The next step its to declare a condition, this condition star only if our variable reach 30. If yes it suppose to delay the apply to each 1 minute and set the variable to 0, to start all the process again.

The flow should look like this.

Hope this help you.
Cheers.

Thanks, @AnthonyAmador for your help and it works partially.
As you can see in the picture it only sends 256 emails every time I run it. Can you please help me out with how can I overcome this As I want to send almost 8000-9000 emails

I think it is happening because the default limit is 256 rows, try doing this.

Go to "List rows present in table" action.
Select the options elipses ("...")
Select 'Settings'.
Enable Pagination.
Set an appropriate row limit.

I hope this helps.
Cheers.
