Flow limitations with sending email

Hello,

 

I have a standard email reminder that needs to be sent out to thousands of people internal to my organization on a daily basis. I have a single flow set up with the recurrence, then to get the email addresses, I used list rows in table (excel) from one drive and then used the apply to each to pull the email addresses from the file and have that as the dynamic content in the To line to have individual standard emails sent to all in the excel file. My question is what is the limitation of how many emails can be sent out from this single recurring flow? My plan type is per user, I see on the looping and debatching limits that the apply to each for my plan is 100k, however the flow limits says actions per workflow is 500. Do I need to add nested workflows in order to extend it? If so, how do I do that? Right now I need to increase it to 3,000, but it'll easily exceed 5,000 soon. Thank you.

    I know this is a bit old, my 5 cents will be, send one email with all your user base on BCC, this will reduce the number of emails being sent out by the SMTP server.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    You still need to turn on the Pagenation, and turn up the number.

    Thank you!

     

    I see in the list rows the top count field says the default is to retrieve all. Do I still need to turn pagination on and enter a threshold in settings or no?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    The limitation of the Apply to each depends on the user licenses.

    If your license is Office 365 and Free licenses, the limits are 5,000.

    If your license is one of Plan 1, Plan 2, Per User, and Per Flow licenses, the Apply to each limits are 100,000.

     

    For more limits and configuration about Flow, you could refer to this doc:
