SendyWordPress
Configure site email with the WP Mail SMTP plugin.
Before you begin, verify a sending domain and create an API key. This guide uses the WP Mail SMTP plugin to connect WordPress site email to Sendy.
Configure WP Mail SMTP
- In your WordPress dashboard, open Plugins / Add New Plugin and install and activate WP Mail SMTP.
- Open WP Mail SMTP / Settings and select Other SMTP.
- Enter the connection settings listed here, then save your settings.
- Mailer
- Other SMTP
- From Email
- [email protected]
- From Name
- My App
- SMTP Host
- smtp.usesendy.com
- Encryption
- TLS (STARTTLS)
- SMTP Port
- 2525
- Authentication
- On
- SMTP Username
- apikey
- SMTP Password
- Your full Sendy API key
Replace the sender with an address on your verified domain and the name with your site’s name. Use your full API key, including the snd_key_ prefix, as the SMTP password.
Enable Force From Email if other plugins use unverified sender addresses. Enable Force From Name to keep your site’s sender name consistent. See WP Mail SMTP’s Other SMTP guide.
Send a test email
- Open WP Mail SMTP / Tools / Email Test.
- Enter your test recipient in Send To and enable HTML for an HTML test.
- Select Send Email and check the result.
Check the result
Open Emails in Sendy to confirm the test was queued and follow its status. The plugin’s success message confirms SMTP submission, not inbox delivery. WordPress notifications and plugins that use its mail function share this transport.
