Introducing Easy WP SMTP 2.4 – NEW Email Alerts + SparkPost Mailer

At Easy WP SMTP, we’ve always been committed to solving your WordPress email deliverability issues. 

With our latest update, we’re taking a giant leap forward in making your life easier and your email management more efficient with new email alert notifications to inform you instantly about sending issues.

And that’s not all – we’ve added a new integration with the popular SparkPost (a Bird company) email delivery service to give you even more choice and control over how your emails are sent.

Let’s take a closer look at these fantastic new features and how they can improve your WordPress email deliverability and workflow.

New: Real-Time Email Alert Notifications

Emails sent from WordPress sites can fail for various reasons. Unless you’re constantly checking your email logs, these issues can go unnoticed.

With Easy WP SMTP 2.4, you can now set up instant alerts to a communication platform of your choice.

This allows you or your team to immediately troubleshoot problems and re-send emails if necessary.

Don’t Let Critical Emails Fall Through the Cracks

Many WordPress sites send dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of emails a day. From password reset links to order confirmations and security alerts, these messages are a crucial communication tool between your business, your site, your team, and your customers.

While Easy WP SMTP already improves email reliability by routing messages via transactional email providers or SMTP servers, email sending issues can still occur due to:

• Temporary server issues
• Incorrect settings
• Plugin conflicts
• Hitting sending limits
• Invalid email addresses

Now, with our new email alerts feature, you’ll be notified instantly when an email fails to send or a hard bounce is detected, allowing you to investigate and take appropriate action promptly.

Flexible Alerts for Your Workflow

We know it’s crucial for you to receive email alerts through platforms that integrate seamlessly with your workflow. That’s why we’ve developed multiple notification options to keep you informed about your WordPress emails:

Email Alerts: Receive notifications directly in your inbox. You can add multiple email addresses to alert different team members. These alerts include the error message and helpful links for quick problem-solving. We send these via our API, ensuring you’re notified even if your configured mailer is down.

Slack: Get instant updates in your Slack workspace. No need to constantly check your email or log into your site – receive alerts right where your team collaborates. Slack notifications include detailed error information to help you address issues promptly.

Microsoft Teams: Stay informed within your Microsoft Teams channels. Easy to set up with our straightforward guide, these alerts keep your team in the loop without leaving the Microsoft ecosystem.

SMS via Twilio: Get notified on your phone, wherever you are. Perfect for staying updated on the go, these SMS alerts provide essential information like the ID and subject line of failed emails.

Webhooks: Connect with your preferred platforms or services. This option allows you to send alert notifications through any service supporting Webhooks. You can even create custom automations with tools like Zapier to trigger specific actions when an email fails.

Activate one or more of these methods to ensure you’re always on top of your email performance. You can use our convenient alert testing feature to confirm everything is working as expected.

With Easy WP SMTP 2.4, you have full control over how and where you receive critical alerts about your WordPress emails. Never miss an important notification again, and address any email issues as soon as they arise.

SparkPost Integration Is Here

Alongside our new alerts feature, we’ve added another highly-requested SMTP email service option: SparkPost (a Bird company).

• High deliverability rates for transactional and marketing emails
