Considerations and limits on workflow rules

Like most automation tools, workflow rules have some important limitations you should consider when designing Salesforce automation (as of the spring 2020 Salesforce release):

• The total number of rules (inactive or not) across all Salesforce objects must not exceed 2,000.

• The total number of rules (inactive or not) per single object must not exceed 500.

• The total number of active rules per object must not exceed 50.

• You can have up to 40 immediate actions per workflow (up to 10 per action type).

• You can have up to 10 time-based actions per workflow (up to 10 per action type).
