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.

2.

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.

3.

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 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.

Step 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.

Step 2: 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.

Step 3: 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.

How CheckView Keeps Your Email Reliable

Step 4: 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.

Works with your existing email setup, including:

WP Mail SMTP
FluentSMTP
SendGrid and Mailgun
Amazon SES and Postmark

WordPress Email Testing, Grounded in Reality

Most tools stop at “configured.” CheckView goes further and proves your site still sends when someone actually uses it. There is no need to replace your SMTP or transactional email provider. CheckView simply confirms your current setup is still working.

Advantages of CheckView’s Automated Email Testing:

  • Verifies email from a real form submission, not a synthetic test send
  • Detects expired SMTP credentials and broken mailer configuration
  • Catches notification feeds that stop firing after a plugin update
  • Works with any SMTP or transactional provider, no config changes
  • Runs continuously on a schedule you set
  • Routes test mail away from real customers and clients
  • Alerts you immediately when a send fails
