sendsend.email

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

  1. In WordPress: Plugins → Add New, search for SendSend Mailer, then Install and Activate. It is also on WordPress.org.
  2. Prefer a file? Download the zip and use Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.
  3. Go to Settings → SendSend.
  4. Paste a live API key. Create one in the dashboard with the emails:send scope.
  5. Enter a From address on a domain you have verified.
  6. 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

MessageCause
domain_not_verifiedThe From address’s domain is not verified in the project that owns the key.
account_not_approvedLive sending is waiting for account approval. A test key works meanwhile but never delivers.
unauthorizedThe key is wrong or revoked.
Nothing happensThe plugin is off, or an API key and From address are not both set. Another mail plugin may also be handling mail.
