Email-sending limit

Every email server has an Email-sending limit and it predefines how many messages it allows you to send each day.

aNinja was designed to make sending and receiving Emails easy, using your Email server.

Through aNinja, you can send a bulk email sequence to all your leads, or a group of leads that you pull out using a Smartlist.

Bulk Email sequences stopped sending out

When you’ve reached the daily Email-sending limit allowed by your Email server, it stops sending Emails from your account.

The daily sending limits of the different Email service providers

Godaddy Workspace

500 SMTP relays per day

GSuite

10,000 sent Email messages per 24-hour period. However, this can be lower if your Google Workspace account is still in a trial-like period.

Gmail

2,000 sent Email messages per day

Office 365 / Outlook

Daily recipients: 5,000

Maximum recipients per message: 500

What to do to send a large bulk of Emails

The best recommendation would be to connect aNinja with a Transactional Email service provider (such as Sendgrid). You’ll then be able to send 10K to 1M+ eventually Emails without affecting your Email provider.

Moreover, Sendgrid adds Unsubscribe links to the Emails you send through it. It also tracks spam scores and notifies you.

SendGrid is usually used to send out bulk email sequences and it works well with aNinja.

Connecting Sendgrid with aNinja

To connect Sendgrid with aNinja:

  • Create a Sendgrid account (so you get an API key that we place in aNinja). You can start with a free tier or their basic tier.
  • Authenticate your outgoing domain DNS (we can assist with this).

Please let us know if you’d like to Integrate with Sendgrid. Leave us an email at support@aninja.com. We’re more than happy to assist you!

Creating Leads in aNinja

In aNinja, creating leads can be done in several ways.

A growing database of leads means more potential engagement. So import your leads from different sources and keep them engaged with newsletters and product or service updates.

Creating leads in aNinja

In aNinja, you can create leads in multiple ways:

  1. Manually one at a time.
  2. Importing Leads in Bulk using CSV file.
  3. Third-party Integration using aNinja API (including Chatbot conversations, form submissions, and website integration).
  4. Importing leads from your Phone Contacts.
  5. Importing leads from your Gmail account.
  6. Creating leads using BCC email address.
  7. Generating a lead from incoming SMS.

1- Creating Leads manually

  • First, log in to your aNinja account.
  • Then, on the top right, click on + add lead

2- Importing leads from a CSV file

Another way to add leads to your aNinja account is importing contacts in a CSV or XLSX file directly to your aNinja account.

3- Third-party integration using aNinja API

In simple words, API is a set of functions that allow applications to interact with each other by exchanging data.

Basically, you can forward leads from your different marketplaces into your aNinja app using API.

  • Here, you need your aNinja API key for the integration.
  • After the integration, you start receiving leads in your aNinja account from the different integration channels, including Chatbot conversations, Form submissions, and website integration.

4- Importing contacts from your Gmail account

Importing contacts from your Gmail account is another way to expand your leads database.

5- Importing your Phone contacts

You can also get your phone contacts to your aNinja account.

6- Creating new leads using BCC email

By BCC’ing your private BCC email address, the system automatically creates new leads from the recipients.

After all, you want to get all your leads into one place to target them with your sales and marketing strategies.

7- Generating a lead from incoming SMS

This is a basic function in aNinja that generates a lead from an incoming SMS, if the phone number is not already saved in the system.

However, this practice is not available for incoming emails. So if the sender’s email is not saved in your system, you will not be able to see the email in aNinja. But it still shows in your email client (Gmail, Outlook, etc…).
