Monitor the Number of Emails Sent from Oracle Integration

You can send up to 10,000 emails in a rolling 24-hour window from Oracle Integration. However, if you use your own customer tenancy, you can increase your limit to the number allowed by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Email Delivery Service. When your limit is exceeded, delivery occurs successfully one last time. For the next delivery, emails stop being sent and a Daily outbound email limit crossed error message is written to the activity stream for the impacted integration instance.

You monitor the current email count from the Email service section of the Integrations dashboard page. The count includes successful and failed messages. See View the Dashboard.

How the Rolling 24 Hour Window is Calculated

  • The email quota is built on a 24-hour rolling window. At any particular point in time, the last 24 hours of outbound emails are counted.
  • When you exceed your quota in only one hour (same hour), you are blocked from sending emails for the next 24 hours.

To handle this type of scenario in your integration, you can also include the notification action in a scope action so that you can emit log messages in a fault handler and then resume instance processing, if required.

Increase the Limit on the Number of Emails to Send

The default method manages email delivery in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This tenancy limits the number of emails you can send in a rolling 24-hour window to 10,000 and the size of attachments to 2 MB.

If you instead use your own customer tenancy for sending emails, you receive the following benefits:
  • The email limit is increased to the number allowed by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Email Delivery Service. The customer tenancy uses SMTP credentials to send email through the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Email Delivery Service.
  • You manage your approved senders and suppression list from your own customer tenancy instead of the Notifications page in Oracle Integration.
