Can You Send More Than 100 Emails in Gmail?

Are you wondering if you can send more than 100 emails in Gmail? The straightforward answer is yes, but the approach you take matters. By default, using the mail app class in Google Apps Script, you are limited to sending 100 emails per day. However, there are methods to circumvent this limit using Gmail's advanced functionalities.

Using Gmail’s CreateDraft Method

The GmailApp.createDraft() method allows you to create draft emails that can be sent manually later, effectively bypassing the 100 email limit. Here’s a simple function to demonstrate how you can create drafts:

function createDraftEmails() {
    var recipient = "example@example.com";
    var subject = "Your Subject Here";
    var body = "Your email body here";

    for (var i = 0; i < 150; i++) {
        GmailApp.createDraft(recipient, subject, body);
    }
}
    

In this example, 150 draft emails are created, which you can then send manually at your convenience.

Potential Drawbacks of Sending Bulk Emails

While it is technically possible to send bulk emails, it may not always be a good idea. Here are a couple of reasons why:

• Your emails may be marked as spam, reducing their deliverability and harming your sender reputation.
• Sending bulk emails uses unnecessary server and internet resources, which can lead to throttling or blocking by email service providers.
