After you connect an email account to Sequences, you can control how that account behaves. This includes how many emails it can send each day and what signature appears in your messages.
You can manage these settings from the Email accounts center. To update a connected account, open the Email accounts center and click Edit next to the account you want to change.
Update your daily sending limit:
The default limit is 15 emails per day per connected email account.
This lower starting limit helps protect your sending reputation. Email providers such as Gmail and Outlook may flag unusual sending activity, especially on newly connected accounts. Starting with a small volume reduces the risk of spam filtering or temporary sending restrictions.
How to change the daily sending limit
Go to the Email accounts center.
Open the connected email account profile.
Adjust the daily sending limit.
Click Save profile.
Maximum daily limits by provider:
Provider | Max daily limit |
Gmail / Google Workspace | 400 |
Outlook / Microsoft 365 | 250 |
SMTP/IMAP | 250 |
💡 Recommended way to increase the limit: Increase the limit gradually by 5 to 10 emails per day at a time. This helps build trust with email providers and lowers the chance of your account being flagged for unusual sending behavior.
Hunter provides a Progressive sending feature, an automated, safe way to increase the sending limits of your mailbox. More details here.
What happens when the daily limit is reached
When your account reaches its daily sending limit, scheduled emails stop sending automatically. Sending resumes after midnight and follows your configured sending window.
Manage your email signature
Your signature is the block of text shown at the bottom of each email you send. It usually includes details such as your name, role, company, and contact information.
A clear signature helps recipients identify you and makes your emails look more trustworthy.
How signature management works by provider
Provider | How to edit your signature |
Gmail / Google Workspace | Hunter fetches it automatically from your Google account. Edit it in your Gmail settings. |
Outlook / Microsoft 365 | Cannot be retrieved automatically. Add your signature manually in each sequence. |
SMTP/IMAP (paid plans) | Edit your profile in the Email accounts center, via the signature field. |
Use your Gmail or Google Workspace signature in a sequence
When writing a sequence email, you can insert or view your Gmail signature from the email editor.
Open the sequence email editor.
Click the three-dot menu in the email body.
Insert or view your saved Gmail signature.
What to expect
After you save changes to your email account profile:
Your updated daily sending limit applies to that connected account
Scheduled emails will respect the new sending cap
Your signature behavior will depend on your email provider
Gmail signatures are managed in Gmail, while other providers may require manual updates
Updating the default sender name
The sender name is the name that appears in your recipient's inbox next to your email address (e.g., "Jane Smith" in "Jane Smith jane@company.com"). Choosing the right sender name matters — it's the first thing people see and directly affects whether they open your email.
Gmail / Google Workspace and SMTP/IMAP
Go to the Email accounts center and click the profile of the account you would like to establish as the default sender, as shown here:
From there, check the box shown below to make this account the default sender:
Once updated, the default sending preference will be saved and applied to the account.
Once this mailbox is set as the default sender, this address will be pre-selected when you start a new sequence.
💡 Please note this can not be done with email accounts connected by other team members and can only be performed with accounts owned by the user.
👉 Outlook / Microsoft 365: The sender name is pulled from your Microsoft account when you first connect and cannot be changed in Hunter.
Sending emails using an alias
Yes — if you use Gmail or Google Workspace, you can send emails from an alias using Sequences. Once your email account is connected, you can choose one of your Gmail aliases as the sender address.
Supported providers for alias in Sequences
Supported providers | Unsupported providers |
Gmail | Outlook / Microsoft 365 |
Google Workspace | SMTP/IMAP email accounts |
How to select an alias for sending
Step 1: Open email account settings
Go to Sequences in the sidebar.
Click Settings → Email accounts.
Select Edit next to the connected Gmail or Google Workspace account.
Step 2: Choose your alias
In the pop-up window:
Find the field Send emails from.
Open the dropdown menu.
Select the alias you want to use when sending email sequences.
💡Important notes when using an alias:
A connected email account can be linked with only one alias at a time.
Reply tracking is not supported when sending from an alias — reply rate will always show 0%.
Replies will not appear in Hunter’s inbox.
The alias must be properly configured as a sender in Gmail (not just a forwarding address), otherwise it will not appear in Hunter.
