Maximizing Automation: The Limits of Email Zaps in Zapier

Published on May 17th, 2024

In the realm of automation and efficiency, Zapier is a tool that has transformed the way businesses and individuals automate their workflows. When it comes to managing email tasks, one common question that arises is: How many email zaps can I have in Zapier?


Zapier's 'Zaps,' which are automated workflows between apps, are central to the platform's convenience and power. An 'email Zap' specifically refers to any Zap that uses an email service as the trigger or action - for instance, automating the sending of emails when a certain event occurs in another app.


The number of email Zaps you can have is not fixed; it depends largely on the Zapier plan you subscribe to. Zapier offers several tiers of service, including a free plan, and several paid plans with varying levels of features and capabilities.


The Free Plan is an excellent starting point for individuals or small businesses looking to streamline a few processes. With this plan, you can create up to 5 Zaps, and these can include email Zaps. However, the Free Plan does have its limitations: tasks (the action your Zap performs) are capped at 100 per month, and Zaps run every 15 minutes.


As your automation needs grow, you might consider the Starter Plan, which expands your capacity to 20 Zaps and offers 750 tasks per month. This option also increase the update time for Zaps, which will now run every 15 minutes, making it a more responsive choice for many users.


For users with more substantial needs, the Professional Plan and higher offer an even greater number of Zaps, running into the hundreds, with tasks ranging from 2,000 to 100,000 per month, and a Zap run time that can be as quick as every two minutes. For large-scale operations where email automation is pivotal, these plans will accommodate an extensive number of email Zaps.


To determine the exact number of email Zaps that are right for you, it's crucial to consider your workflow requirements and the volume of email automation you need.


Understanding the constraints and opportunities within each plan allows you to optimally structure your zaps for your specific needs. As you grow, you may find it necessary to upgrade to a higher-tier plan to accommodate an increasing number of Zaps, particularly if email automation is a significant part of your workflow.
