Work Flow Rule to Send emails
Hi,
What is the max limit of emails that we can send using work flow rule.(how many emails can we send using workflow rule with out exceeding governing limits)
While Apex emails are limited, workflow email alerts are unlimited. The 10 limit applies to Apex triggered emails, not workflow emails.
I've sent out 200+ at once by mistake using dummy data.
Understanding Execution Governors and Limits
Because Apex runs in a multitenant environment, the Apex runtime engine strictly enforces a number of limits to ensure that runaway scripts do not monopolize shared resources. These limits, or governors, track and enforce the statistics outlined in the following table. If a script ever exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a runtime exception that cannot be handled.
Governor limits are applied based on the entry point of your code. For example, if you have an anonymous block call a trigger, the limits that Apex runtime engine uses are the limits for the anonymous block, not for the trigger.
Governor limits apply to an entire organization, as well as to specific, certified namespaces. For example, if you install a certified managed package from Force.com AppExchange, (that is, an app that has been marked AppExchange Certified) the components in the package belong to a namespace unique from other components in your organization. Consequently, any Apex scripts in that package can issue up to 20 DML statements while executing. In addition, any Apex script that is native to your organization can also issue up to 20 DML statements, meaning more than 20 DML statements might execute during a single transaction if scripts from the certified managed package and your native organization both execute. Conversely, if you install a package from AppExchange that is not marked AppExchange Certified, the scripts from that package do not have their own separate governor limit count. Any resources they use count against the total for your organization. Cumulative resource messages and warning emails are also generated based on certified managed package namespaces as well.
