For Individual Emails
The email limit for the organization will be calculated based on the total number of confirmed and active users in the account.
- You cannot send bulk or mass emails in the Free edition.
- Standard edition - 250 emails per day.
- Professional edition - 500 emails per day.
- Enterprise edition - 750 emails per day.
12 AM to 11.59 PM GMT is considered as one day.
For example, you have 5 active and confirmed users in your organization’s account. Then the total number of individual emails that a user can send per day, per organization will be up to 1500 (300 x 5) emails.
For Mass Emails
- You can send mass emails based on your Zoho Recruit Edition. 12 AM to 11.59 PM GMT is considered as one day, to calculate the email count.

Send Mass Emails
In Zoho Recruit, you can send mass emails to customers manually, by creating a new mailing list or by using an existing list. You can select the list of recipients in two ways:
- Instant Filter (creating New Custom View)
- Existing Custom View
Note
- The Mass Email feature is available only in the Candidates and Clients modules. See Also Email Limits
- You need to create email templates before sending mass emails. See Also Email Templates
Bounced email notifications for mass emails are not tracked in Zoho Recruit.
However, if the user has configured Zoho Mail Addon, notifications about bounced emails can be tracked only for individual emails (but not mass emails). The notifications are sent to the user's primary email address that has been configured.
