class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Understand the Maximum Recipient Limit<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To protect deliverability and prevent spam-like sending patterns,&nbsp;<strong>1-grid allows a maximum of 25 recipients per email.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This total includes every recipient added
