😱 Oh No! My Email Was Suspended — What Do I Do?

First off — don’t panic!


This is a very common situation with Google accounts that send higher-than-normal volumes. The good news? It’s temporary and fully reversible.


Google sometimes suspends accounts to prevent potential abuse, but restoring access only takes a few minutes.


Once your account is reinstated, we recommend:


  • Reducing your email volume by ~20% for 1–2 weeks, or
  • Adding a second sending email address

→ PodPitch will automatically rotate between both emails in the same campaign to lower the load.


Follow the steps below to get reactivated quickly.



🔧 Step-by-Step: How to Unsuspend Your Gmail Account


1. Review Google’s Suspension Notice


Google typically sends a message explaining the suspension.
Read it for clues about the cause or any special steps required.



2. Sign In to Your Google Admin Console


Go to: admin.google.com
Log in using your admin credentials (or ask your admin to log in if you’re not the owner).



3. Open the “Users” Section


Find the suspended account.
Google will usually list the reason for suspension on that page.



4. Unsuspend the Account


Click Reactivate or Unsuspend.
Google makes this step very clear — usually a single button.


If you’re unsure, feel free to send us a screenshot via live chat and we’ll walk you through it.



5. Follow Any Additional Google Instructions


Occasionally, Google may request:


  • Verification of sending practices
  • A quick confirmation that the account is legitimate


Once completed, the account should restore immediately.



🎉 You’re Back!


After reactivation, resume pitching — just at a slightly lower volume for the next week to stay under Google’s radar.


If you'd like help:


  • Reducing send limits
  • Adding a second sending email
  • Troubleshooting deliverability
