Use cases
EMAILLIMIT defines throttling rules for outbound email communication, assigned to CLIENT and COM records via the emaillimit objectLookup in the Administration panel's Email Restrictions section. Each rule specifies a maximum quantity (qty) of emails within a number of days (days), with a type field distinguishing between counting by individual email (each email counts as one) and counting by unique email address (multiple emails to the same address count as one). This entity prevents sales and recruitment teams from over-contacting clients by enforcing limits at the client level. For example, a rule might specify 'Maximum 5 emails per 30 days, counted by address' to prevent email fatigue. The separation of limit definitions from client records allows the same rule to be shared across multiple clients with similar communication preferences.
