Messaging Limits

If you have exceeded your 24-hour messaging tier limit, a warning will appear. Messaging limits govern the number of business-initiated conversations within a 24-hour rolling window. You can upgrade from 250 to 1,000 conversations per day by completing the business verification process. Automatic scaling beyond 1,000 occurs when your phone number maintains consistent connection and a high-quality rating.

Bulk Email Verification

Email verification checks your contacts’ primary email addresses for errors, improving deliverability and protecting your sender score.

Key Considerations

Email system requirement: Verification requires the LC email system. It is not compatible with Mailgun, Google SMTP, or SendGrid.

Cost: There is a small cost per email verified. Contact your CRM Administrator for pricing details.

Scope: Only primary email addresses are eligible. Secondary addresses cannot be verified.

Run Verification

Navigate to Smart Lists, select the contacts to verify, then click the Email Verification bulk action button.
