Flow Message Pricing

You will need marketing credits to send emails and text messages via a flow. Learn more about marketing credit pricing.

Flow emails require 5 marketing credits each time the email is sent. This number of marketing credits will not change based on the email content.

Flow text messages start at 10 marketing credits each time the text is sent. This number of marketing credits will increase (in increments of 5) based on the length of the text message.

If you are running low on marketing credits and you have active flows that require credits, you will receive an email notification if you’re the billing user for your account.

If you run out of marketing credits and you have an active flow that requires credits, emails and texts in that flow will not be sent.
