Having a requirement to send a same email to 8k+ users belongs to different branches of an organization from ServiceNow.  

Pls help me with below questions,

1. Is it possible to send an email to 8k+ users from ServiceNow?

2. Should 8k+ needs to be selected on records to send an email?

3. May i know the different approaches to send an email to 8k+ users from ServiceNow?

Please let me know if there is any other key considerations on this case.

Hi @PriyaGanesh 

You can do this easily in ServiceNow. For these kinds of communications, there is a module called Target Communication available in ServiceNow, where you can define a specific recipient list and use it for mass communication.

Thanks for your guide. But even after publishing the publication(target communication), i can see no email sent out of ServiceNow. 
Note: checked the email logs.

Hi @PriyaGanesh 

Are you testing in PDI? If yes, then emails are restricted in PDI and won’t work. You can only view the status there.
