# Email by Workato
Email by Workato is designed to allow users to easily send internal notifications for low-volume use cases around critical recipe alerts, debugging, or testing. You can also use this connector to quickly build proof of concepts before migrating to a production-ready email service provider.
EMAIL FORMAT
Workato appends a footer to all emails sent with the Send email action: This email was generated by Workato on behalf of <ACME_CORP>. The <ACME_CORP> value uses your workspace name, or, if not configured, the workspace admin's username.
In non-production environments, the footer includes the environment type: This email was generated by Workato on behalf of Example Org (Development).
The sender address is always [email protected].

# Limits
Email by Workato is subject to the following rate limits:
- 500 emails for each workspace in a 24-hour period
If you exceed this rate limit, Workato throws an error and fails the job. If you need to send emails at scale we recommend utilizing you own email provider like Outlook, Gmail, Mailchimp, Sendgrid, and more. To help you keep track of your usage, Workato supplies output datapills corresponding to your current consumed calls and reset time for the limits.
