AutoSend x WordPress WordPress relies on the PHP `mail()` function to send emails by default, which often results in poor deliverability or emails not being sent at all. By configuring WordPress to use AutoSend SMTP, you ensure reliable delivery for password resets, user notifications, contact form submissions, and WooCommerce order emails. ## Prerequisites Make sure you have a verified domain added in AutoSend to send emails from. Create a project-specific SMTP key from the SMTP tab in Project Settings. ## Configuration Install and activate the [WP Mail SMTP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/) plugin from your WordPress dashboard. Navigate to **WP Mail SMTP** > **Settings** in the WordPress admin sidebar. In the **Mail** section, configure your sender details: | Field | Value | | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | | **From Email** | Your verified email address (e.g., `hello@yourdomain.com`) | | **From Name** | Your sender name (e.g., `Your Company`) | Enable **Force From Email** to ensure WordPress always uses this address. The From Email must use a domain that is verified in AutoSend. For example, if you verified `yourdomain.com`, use an address like `hello@yourdomain.com`. From Email Configuration Scroll down to the **Mailer** section and select **Other SMTP**. Select Other SMTP Fill in the following SMTP settings: | Field | Value | | ------------------ | -------------------------------- | | **SMTP Host** | `smtp.autosend.com` | | **Encryption** | TLS | | **SMTP Port** | `587` (or `465` for SSL) | | **Authentication** | On | | **SMTP Username** | `autosend` | | **SMTP Password** | Your AutoSend SMTP key (AS\_xxx) | The SMTP password is no longer your API key. Create a project-specific SMTP key from the SMTP tab in Project Settings. SMTP Credentials Click **Save Settings** to save your configuration. 1. Go to **WP Mail SMTP** > **Tools** > **Email Test** 2. Enter a recipient email address 3. Click **Send Email** Send Test Email You can also check the Email Activity dashboard to verify the email was sent through AutoSend. ## Troubleshooting * Verify your SMTP credentials are correct - Check that your sender email domain is verified in AutoSend - Ensure **Force From Email** is enabled in WP Mail SMTP settings - Check if your hosting provider blocks outgoing SMTP connections * Double-check your SMTP key is correct - Ensure you're using `autosend` as the username - Verify your SMTP key is active in the SMTP Settings - Make sure there are no extra spaces in the credentials * Verify the server address is `smtp.autosend.com` - Try using port `465` with SSL if port `587` fails - Contact your hosting provider to ensure SMTP ports are not blocked - Some shared hosts block outgoing SMTP; consider upgrading to a VPS * Deactivate other SMTP or email plugins that may interfere - Check for caching plugins that might cache email settings - Test with a default WordPress theme to rule out theme conflicts * Ensure your domain has proper DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) - Use a professional sender name and address - Check your domain reputation in AutoSend - Avoid spam trigger words in your email content ## Next Steps Set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for better deliverability Monitor your email delivery and engagement Set up webhooks to track email events in real-time Learn more about AutoSend SMTP configuration
