Automated Email Testing for WordPress
Your site stops sending, and nobody tells you. SMTP passwords expire, a plugin update quietly drops the notification feed, or your host starts blocking outbound mail. The form still says “thanks,” so nothing looks wrong. CheckView submits your real forms on a schedule and confirms an email actually came out the other side, so you find out in a day instead of three months.

Triggered by Real Submissions
No “send test email” button. CheckView fills in and submits your actual form, then waits for the message your site really sends, through the mailer you really use.
Catch Silent Send Failures
Expired SMTP credentials, a broken mailer config, a host blocking outbound mail, or a plugin update that killed your notification. You get alerted when your site stops sending.
No Test Mail to Real People
Test messages are routed to CheckView’s inbox instead of your clients or customers, so continuous testing never puts fake enquiries in a real inbox.
Why WordPress Email Breaks
More Often Than You Think
1.SMTP and transactional email services aren’t enough
Most WordPress sites rely on SMTP or transactional email plugins such as SendGrid, Mailgun, or WP Mail SMTP. But if authentication breaks, credentials expire, or your host updates security policies, WordPress silently stops sending, without warning. Your forms and order confirmations might look successful on screen, but the actual email never leaves the server.
Configuration is not delivery
What a send actually did
- SMTP configuredPassed
- Form submittedPassed
- Email handed offAccepted
- Email receivedNever arrived
A working SMTP setup proves the handover, not the arrival
No plugin can tell you if the message left the building
A mailer plugin’s log says it handed the message off. It cannot tell you the handoff started from a real form submission, or that the notification still fires after last week’s plugin update. That gap is where silent failures live, and it is the gap CheckView closes.
Sent does not always mean delivered
What the plugin log says
- Handed off to SMTP
- Marked as sent
- Actually delivered
What the inbox holds
- No message found
- Nothing received
The real-world cost of unverified email
Missed order notifications. Customers thinking you ignored their message. Enquiries that never reach anyone. It only takes one broken mailer to lose business without realizing it.
What an unverified email costs
- Order placedThe customer completes checkoutCompleted
- Notification missingNobody is told the order existsNot delivered
- Recipient waitingHours pass with no updateNo update
- Alert raisedThe failure is caught and reportedAction taken
Intervened before the problem continued
What Every Email Test Confirms
CheckView completes a real submission on your live site, then confirms the resulting email is received within the expected window. A test fails when no message arrives, which is exactly what happens when credentials expire, a mailer breaks, a host blocks outbound mail, or a form’s notification stops firing. Testing runs on your schedule, daily, weekly, or monthly, and alerts you the moment a send stops working.

Why Traditional Email Testing Falls Short
The difference between configured and actually working.
- “Send test email” buttons only prove the plugin is configured, not that your forms still trigger mail
- Transactional dashboards show what their API accepted, and only for mail that reached them
- Neither one catches a form that quietly stopped sending after an update
CheckView tests the path that matters
A real submission on your live site, through your real mail configuration. That means proof, not assumptions.

How CheckView Keeps
Your Email Reliable
1.Submit a real form
CheckView fills in and submits your form on the live site, exactly as a customer would, so the email is triggered the same way a real enquiry triggers it.
Tested the way a visitor would
Real submission
- Open the formPassed
- Fill the fieldsPassed
- SubmitPassed
- Email triggeredSent and checked
Route the message to CheckView
The notification is redirected to CheckView’s inbox rather than your client or customer, so continuous testing never delivers fake enquiries to real people.
Safe email routing
- Your website formThe same form your visitors use
- Safe test routeTest mail is diverted before it leaves
- Test inboxWhere the message is opened and checkedReceived
No test mail ever reaches your customers
Confirm it arrived
CheckView waits for the message and confirms it was received within the expected window. If nothing arrives, the test fails and you find out immediately.

Get alerted the moment a send fails
When no email arrives, CheckView alerts you right away. That is the signal something in the chain broke: expired SMTP credentials, a mailer misconfiguration, a host blocking outbound mail, or a notification that stopped firing after an update.
