Quick preview tip:

Copy the value of fullHtml from any dataset item → paste into a new .html file → open in browser to see the exact invitation card.

🔒 Per-User Daily Sending Limit ⚡

To prevent abuse and ensure fair usage, this actor enforces a per-user daily sending cap:

• Each Apify user can send a maximum of 10 invitation emails per day.
• The limit is enforced automatically per Apify account.
• Counters reset daily (UTC).
• Only successful email sends count toward the limit.
• testMode runs do not affect the daily limit.
• If a user exceeds the limit, the actor stops execution and shows an error.

This ensures email deliverability, protects sender reputation, and prevents misuse.

Important Notes

• Unsubscribe: Built-in domain tracking technology — recipients see an unsubscribe option (header button + footer link).
• Deliverability: Test to your own Gmail/Yahoo first. Softened wording helps avoid spam folders.
• Privacy: Only the recipient email and your message are used — no data stored beyond the run's dataset.
• Replies: If you provide senderEmail, replies go directly to you. The footer shows your name + email (clickable mailto link) for transparency.

Version History

• 0.0.86 (2026-02-11) – Added optional senderEmail field (Reply-To header + visible in footer)
• 0.0.80 (2026-02-11) – Stable release: full email content in dataset, unsubscribe support, input validation, error handling, schema fixes
