How to send Salesforce Email Alerts for maximum sales
Salesforce Email alerts are emails that are automatically generated and forwarded to designated recipients. This action is made up of standard texts, alongside a list of recipients for an email. Email alerts can be associated with flows, processes, workflow rules, entitlement processes, or approval processes. You can also access them through the invocable Actions REST API endpoint.
Daily Allocations for Email Alerts
There is a daily allocation for email alerts, so you must take note. For free developer edition and trial orgs, the daily workflow email allocation is 15.
However, the paid version still gets up to 1000 per standard salesforce license per org.
The overall org allocation is 2,000,000 and it comprises of emails that are sent through email alerts in approval process Ed, workflow rules, the REST API, processes, or flows.
What happens after your orgy has reached its daily workflow email allocation limit:
If there are any leftover emails in the workflow queue, they are discarded. Salesforce doesn't perform a resend action.
Triggering the workflow rule with action and an email alert is triggered, only the email action would be blocked.
