Credit Scheme for Email Usage  
Once the link is established between Creator and ZeptoMail, a credit scheme will be implemented for the sending of emails. In Creator, the email usage limit is no longer a set daily limit that is dependent on the number or type of users or plans. Instead, ZeptoMail credits are allocated to the users and plans based on their usage needs.    

ZeptoMail allows users to send 10,000 emails per credit and the credit remains valid for a period of six months. The credits are provided monthly, allowing the user to carry forward the unused credits.    

This flexible system helps to accommodate the changing usage patterns, as some days may not see any emails sent, and other days the daily limit may be exceeded. If additional email credits are required, they can be easily purchased through the ZeptoMail platform.
