Email notifications
Configure, verify, and operate Email notifications in the official Drecha plugin manual.
What this feature does
Admin alerts and respondent confirmations run after a submission is stored. A friendly inbox check unlocks new notification switches only after delivery is confirmed. Drecha Forms remains compatible with established SMTP plugins and records acceptance accurately.
Key capabilities
- Flexible messages — Configure multiple recipients, Reply-To, field placeholders, and separate HTML and plain-text content.
- Honest delivery status — A successful wp_mail() call is recorded as accepted for sending—not falsely described as delivered.
- Queue-backed reliability — Entry persistence never depends on email success. Idempotent jobs and bounded retries reduce accidental duplicate messages.
- Verified before activation — Prepare templates at any time, then open a one-hour inbox confirmation link before enabling a new notification.
