We are hitting single email message limits so we are switching from SingleEmailMessage to Email Alerts. These are mostly external emails that need sending out. From salesforce docs, I saw email alerts have more limit and it is per license rather than 5000 Emails per day.
I have a custom object called Email_Context__c this has all the merge fields like subject, plaintextbody and others. It also has a **Email Field** which is the recepient email ( External).
The Email alerts I create from a record triggered flow for this object are counting towards the SingleEmailLimit as well as the WorkFlow Email Limit. ( I do not want them to count towards SingleEmailLimit )
Does using an external email the problem here?
Below is the email alert I created and a vf template that has the following code
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="{!relatedTo.Email_Subject__c}" relatedToType="Email_Context__c"> <messaging:htmlEmailBody> {!relatedTo.Plain_Text_Body__c} </messaging:htmlEmailBody> </messaging:emailTemplate>
