Scheduling & Send Limits
AutoReach schedules sequence actions to look like natural human behavior- spacing actions across the day, clustering them into sessions with breaks, and enforcing daily limits to keep accounts healthy.
Activity Window
The activity window defines when outreach actions execute. Actions scheduled outside the window are deferred until the window opens.
Activity windows are per-account, not per-user. Each connected account (LinkedIn, X, Instagram) has its own schedule and timezone. A window is one or more time blocks per day (for example a morning block plus an afternoon block), capped at 8 hours of total active time per day. This lets you run accounts on independent schedules: for example, a US LinkedIn account on EST business hours and an EU X account on CET business hours.
Configure an account's window from the Accounts page → open the account → Configuration tab → Activity window card.
Schedule
09:00-13:00 + 14:00-18:00 (8h), Monday to Friday, weekends off
Timezone
Account-configured
Max active time
8 hours per day (summed across all blocks)
A window can be a single block or several blocks per day, as long as the total stays within the 8-hour daily cap. If an account has not been customized, AutoReach falls back to the user-level window for that user. Once you save a per-account window, that account uses its own schedule independently.
Actions scheduled outside the window are automatically deferred until the window opens.
Action Scheduling
How Actions Are Scheduled
The scheduler creates action records for each lead and processes them when their scheduled time arrives.
Lead Priority
Higher-priority leads (based on buyer score and signal recency) get earlier time slots within the day.
Timing Distribution
Actions are distributed across the activity window to simulate natural human behavior:
Natural spacing- actions are spread throughout the day with minimum gaps between them
Time-of-day variation- higher activity during peak hours, lower during early morning and evening
Session clustering- actions are grouped into human-like sessions with breaks between them
Day-of-week variation- weekday and weekend activity levels differ naturally
Daily Send Limits
Daily limits are per-sequence (not per-account). Each sequence has its own counters.
Action Limits
Each sequence has a single unified daily action limit covering all outreach actions: likes, comments, follows, DMs, connection requests, and emails. Condition steps do not count.
In addition to the per-sequence daily limit, email sends are paced per mailbox at one in-flight send at a time and up to 10 sends per minute to keep delivery clean.
LinkedIn connection requests are tracked separately per-account. See Daily Connection Limits below.
Enforcement
Limits reset at midnight in the acting account's timezone. If a limit is reached, remaining actions are deferred to the next day.
Daily Connection Limits (LinkedIn)
LinkedIn connection requests have a separate daily limit tracked per-account (not per-sequence). When the limit is reached, pending connection requests are deferred to the next day. Other action types continue normally.
Set the daily connection limit on each LinkedIn account to match your account type. See Supported Actions for the limits by account type.
Natural Timing
All action execution includes natural pacing that simulates human behavior - browsing, reading, typing, and thinking pauses. Delays vary by action type, time of day, and day of week to create realistic patterns unique to each account.
Occasional random pauses are inserted between actions to simulate natural breaks and distractions.
Gradual Resumption
When a paused sequence is resumed or actions become overdue, they are spread across time instead of firing all at once. This keeps activity patterns looking natural.
Max AI Responses Per Conversation
Limits how many times AI auto-replies in a single conversation:
Max AI responses per conversation
0 (unlimited)
100
When set to 0, AI auto-replies are unlimited- the AI will continue responding as long as the conversation is active. When set to a positive number, AI responds up to that many times per conversation, then stops.
