How to Send Mass Email in Salesforce

Sending mass emails in Salesforce allows you to communicate with a large number of contacts or leads at once. This feature is useful for marketing campaigns, announcements, and other mass communication needs. Salesforce has transitioned from the classic "Mass Email" feature to the "List Email" feature in the Lightning Experience, offering a more streamlined interface and additional functionalities.

Salesforce Mass Email Limits

Before sending mass emails, it's important to be aware of Salesforce's mass email limits. The platform restricts the number of emails you can send to 5,000 per organization per day to external email addresses. However, there's no limit on emails sent to internal users. These limits can vary based on your Salesforce edition and other factors, so it's recommended to check with Salesforce support for the most accurate information. Additionally, Salesforce imposes other limitations such as file attachments appearing as downloadable links and the inability to use Visualforce templates for mass emails.

Send Mass Email Salesforce Lightning

To send a mass email in Salesforce Lightning, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the 'Contacts' section and ensure you select 'All Contacts' to view your full list.
  2. Select the recipients for your email, then click the arrow box in the right corner and choose "Send List Email".
  3. In the email editor, attach any necessary files and compose your message. Once ready, click 'Send'.
  4. To exclude certain recipients, use the "Edit List Filters" option to apply filters to your contact list before sending the email.
  5. Select or create an email template to use, incorporating merge fields if needed. Click 'Send' when your email is ready.

You will receive an email notification once your Salesforce email has been sent.
