WordPress plugin
Send everything WordPress emails (password resets, WooCommerce receipts, form notifications) through SendSend.
SendSend Mailer replaces WordPress’s built-in mail sending. Anything that calls wp_mail(), including WooCommerce, Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms, goes through the API instead of your web server.
Install
- In WordPress: Plugins → Add New, search for SendSend Mailer, then Install and Activate. It is also on WordPress.org.
- Prefer a file? Download the zip and use Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
- Go to Settings → SendSend.
- Paste a live API key. Create one in the dashboard with the
emails:sendscope. - Enter a From address on a domain you have verified.
- Enter any address under Send a test email and press the button.
Keep the key out of the database
Optionally, define it in wp-config.php and the settings field is replaced by a note:
define( 'SENDSEND_API_KEY', 'ss_live_...' );Behavior
- Force From address (on by default): every message is sent from your verified address. If a form plugin set the visitor as the sender, they become the Reply-To so replies still reach them.
- Fallback (off by default): if SendSend fails, optionally let WordPress’s default mailer try. That sends from your web server, which often lands in spam.
- Recent sends: the last 25 messages and any errors are shown on the settings page. “Accepted” means queued; delivery results appear in your dashboard.
- Retries use an idempotency key, so a retried message can never deliver twice.
- Attachments are sent too: up to 10 files and 10 MB in total. SendSend refuses executables and scripts.
Troubleshooting
| Message | Cause |
|---|---|
| domain_not_verified | The From address’s domain is not verified in the project that owns the key. |
| account_not_approved | Live sending is waiting for account approval. A test key works meanwhile but never delivers. |
| unauthorized | The key is wrong or revoked. |
| Nothing happens | The plugin is off, or an API key and From address are not both set. Another mail plugin may also be handling mail. |
