Have you ever set up a flawless automated report, only to have your client tell you they never received it?
This is becoming more common thanks to newly imposed Looker Studio email limits. Whether you’re running daily dashboards for PPC clients or weekly SEO performance recaps, these changes affect how we share data, and if we don’t adapt quickly, we risk disrupting our reporting workflows.
Let’s break down what’s changed, why it matters for us as marketers, and how we can continue delivering consistent insights without hitting a wall.

First Things First: What’s Actually Changed?
In March 2025, Google introduced new restrictions on the number of emails you can send using scheduled reports. These Looker Studio email limits apply depending on your account type.
Here’s the official quota breakdown from Google Cloud:
Account TypeDaily LimitMonthly LimitIndividual (Free)200800Google Workspace5003,000Looker Studio ProUnlimitedUnlimited
However, it’s important to note that these quotas still apply to Pro users if their reports are stored in the “Owned by me” folder. That detail is critical to managing your Looker Studio email limit correctly.
These limits aren’t unreasonable, but they lack transparency. There’s no way to track usage in real-time, so you only find out when an email fails, putting client communication at risk.
Why Looker Studio Email Limits Matter
We rely on automated data reporting to keep teams and clients aligned. Whether we’re delivering multi-channel performance updates, weekly SEO dashboards, or ad spend summaries, email automation is a big part of how we communicate.
With the new Looker Studio email limits, we're now facing the following risks:
- Unsent reports due to daily or monthly quotas
- Silent failures when exceeding recipient limits
- No system warnings or quota tracking
If you're part of a growing team or agency, managing email quotas per user becomes an operational challenge fast.
What Else Is Limited Besides Email Volume?
Beyond the core Looker Studio email limit, there are specific constraints that shape how we design and distribute our reports:
Key Functional Restrictions
- 50 recipients max per email, including Google Groups or aliases
- The sender must be on the recipient list
- Only 5 report pages appear in email previews (PDFs may include full report)
- Emails are sent based on the sender’s local OS time zone
- Standard users get 1 schedule/report; Pro users can create up to 20
Note that pro benefits only apply when the report is an organizational asset. Reports stored in personal folders still count against your email quota.
How to Adapt as a Marketing Team
1. Audit Scheduled Reports
Before hitting your Looker Studio email limit, evaluate:
- Number of scheduled reports
- Frequency of sends (daily, weekly)
- Number of recipients per report
There's no dashboard for this in Looker Studio, so manual tracking is our best bet for now.
2. Streamline Report Delivery
Rather than multiple daily reports:
- Combine multiple reports into one cohesive dashboard
- Send summaries weekly instead of daily (when possible)
- Encourage stakeholders to view reports through direct access links
Looker Studio supports link sharing and embedding, which is a great way to remove email from the equation altogether.
3. Use Google Workspace Admin Controls
If we manage a team or agency Workspace, we should:
- Limit external email sharing
- Set approved domain rules (Pro accounts can whitelist up to 100)
- Keep reporting within secure boundaries
These won’t change your Looker Studio email limit, but they reduce risk and improve compliance. Learn more at Google’s Admin Help Center.
4. Looker Studio Pro: Worth It?
Looker Studio Pro removes the quota for organizational reports only. That said, it adds helpful features like:
- Schedule up to 20 email deliveries per report
- Customize email subject lines and body content
- Use “Send Now” to trigger delivery outside the schedule
Pro could be worth it for large teams or agencies, but only if reports are properly stored and shared at the organizational level. Otherwise, we’re paying for features we don’t fully unlock.
Qué debemos hacer ahora mismo
Esta es una lista de verificación que le recomendamos que implemente para evitar interrupciones:
- ✅ Audita todos los correos electrónicos programados en Looker Studio
- ✅ Saca los informes críticos de las carpetas «De mi propiedad»
- ✅ Consolide los paneles siempre que sea posible
- ✅ Limite los destinatarios por correo electrónico a un máximo de 50
- ✅ Usa enlaces o incrusta paneles internamente
- ✅ Evalúe si Looker Studio Pro justifica el costo y se ajusta a su estructura
Consejo adicional: automatiza lo que puedes controlar
Si bien la entrega del correo electrónico es un cuello de botella, la extracción de datos no tiene que ser. Herramientas como Capa de datos nos permiten conectar Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, GA4 y más directamente a Looker Studio o Google Sheets, lo que automatiza todo el backend de nuestros informes.
De esa manera, cuando enviamos un informe, sabemos que los datos que lo respaldan son precisos, limpios y completos.

Reflexiones finales
Estos nuevos límites de correo electrónico de Looker Studio pueden parecer un quebradero de cabeza, pero son una señal de que necesitamos refinar la forma en que entregamos información.
En lugar de ampliar ciegamente los correos electrónicos programados, hagamos lo siguiente:
- Replantéese qué informes deben enviarse
- Mejore la colaboración a través de paneles compartidos
- Explore los flujos de trabajo híbridos mediante enlaces, incrustaciones y herramientas de automatización
Los especialistas en marketing sabemos que la entrega de datos es tan importante como la recopilación de datos. Con los ajustes adecuados, podemos mantener nuestros flujos de trabajo eficientes, nuestros clientes informados y nuestros informes fluidos, incluso dentro de nuevos límites.
