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.

    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.

    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.
