Zendesk Gmail Notification Limit Exceeded

Learn why you're receiving a notification about sending too many emails via Gmail in Zendesk and how to resolve it.

Why am I receiving a notification about sending too many emails via Gmail in Zendesk?

If you're seeing a notification about sending too many emails via Gmail, it's because your Zendesk Support account has exceeded Gmail's sending limits.

When you use the Gmail connector, all your Zendesk notifications are processed through Gmail's servers. This includes tickets, knowledge base updates, and community notifications. Gmail has a daily sending limit of 500 emails for free accounts and 2000 for paid Google apps. Once you hit this limit, Zendesk temporarily switches to its own mail servers to send notifications.

To prevent this issue, consider using email forwarding instead of the Gmail connector. For more details on setting up email forwarding, check out the article: How can I switch from the Gmail connector to standard email forwarding?
