Status labels describe known signals, not final inbox outcomes.

The basic flow

A visitor submits a form on a WordPress site. The plugin records or detects the submission and related notification event depending on configuration and supported form plugin behavior. WordPress attempts to send the notification email, then InboxMend records the known status signal for review.

Status labels

InboxMend uses practical status labels: Sent by WordPress, Failed, No email generated and Unknown. These labels describe what the plugin can reliably observe from WordPress and the mail process.

What Sent by WordPress means

Sent by WordPress means WordPress or the mail process reported that a notification was sent. It does not mean the message reached the recipient inbox, avoided spam filtering or was opened.

What Failed means

Failed means WordPress or the mail process reported a failure while creating or sending the notification. The cause may be SMTP settings, hosting mail restrictions, plugin behavior, authentication or another site-specific issue.

What Unknown means

Unknown means there is not enough reliable information to classify the event. This can happen when a plugin does not expose enough detail, when logs are missing, or when the site configuration prevents a clear signal.

Open and click tracking

Open detected and Click detected are shown only when tracking is enabled and technically possible. Blocking, privacy tools, mail client behavior and image loading settings can affect these signals.

Cloud monitoring

InboxMend Cloud helps monitor connected sites, latest sync, inbox activity, Email Health, delivery rules, alert channels and reports so teams can investigate silent problems faster.

What InboxMend is not

InboxMend is not a replacement for SMTP provider logs, CRM backups, manual review of critical submissions, WordPress maintenance, hosting monitoring or form plugin support. It is a monitoring and visibility layer built around a saved-first workflow.

External Service Disclosure

InboxMend connects your WordPress site to the InboxMend Cloud service. When connected, the plugin may send site identification, form submission metadata, notification status, email event status and diagnostic information needed to display monitoring results in the InboxMend dashboard. The exact data may depend on enabled features and configuration. Users should review the Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement before connecting a production site.
