Control when and how many applications your template accepts with submission limits, scheduling, and quotas. Manage application volume effectively.
Understanding Limits
Template limits help you manage the flow of incoming applications. You can restrict submissions by time, quantity, or both.
Time-Based
Open/close at specific dates
Quantity-Based
Cap total submissions
Per-User
Limit per applicant
Scheduling Applications
Set when your template accepts submissions:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Open Date | When the template starts accepting applications |
| Close Date | When the template stops accepting applications |
| Timezone | Which timezone the dates use |
Setting Up a Schedule
- Open your template settings
- Navigate to Limits & Scheduling
- Enable Schedule Applications
- Set your open and close dates
- Save your changes

Note
The template page shows a countdown when applications aren't yet open, and a "closed" message after the deadline passes.
Submission Limits
Cap the total number of applications your template accepts:
| Limit Type | Example Use Case |
|---|---|
| Total Submissions | "First 100 applicants only" |
| Daily Limit | "50 applications per day maximum" |
| Active Applications | "Max 200 in review at any time" |
What Happens at the Limit
When the limit is reached:
- New applicants see a "limit reached" message
- The form is hidden or disabled
- Existing applications continue processing normally
- You receive a notification that the limit was hit
Per-User Limits
Control how many times a single person can apply:
| Option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| One Application Only | User can never reapply to this template |
| One Active Application | Can reapply after previous is resolved |
| Cooldown Period | Must wait X days between applications |
| Unlimited | No restrictions on reapplying |
Pro Tip
Use "One Active Application" for most cases. This prevents spam while allowing rejected applicants to try again later.
Plan Limits
Your subscription plan affects template limits:
| Plan | Templates | Applications/Month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 3 templates | 100 applications |
| Pro | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Approaching Limit
You'll receive a notification when you reach 80% of your plan's application limit. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited applications.
Quotas & Analytics
Track your usage in the template analytics:
- Submissions Today — Applications received today
- This Month — Monthly submission count
- Remaining — How many submissions until limit
- Limit Status — Whether limit is active or paused
Temporarily Closing Applications
Need to pause applications without changing your schedule? Use the Close Applications toggle in template settings. This immediately stops new submissions while preserving your configured dates and limits.
- Go to your template settings
- Find the Status section
- Toggle Accepting Applications off
- Toggle it back on when ready to resume
