Forms Monitoring
K
Koos Schwaneberg
Almost all websites have one... a contactform. The forms use PHP or other sending protocols to deliver the submissions to every clients precious mailboxes. But this is sometimes harder then it sounds.
After carefully setting up the SMTP or just standard trusting the PHP capabilities of the websites hosting this can change quickly.
It would very much help us and our client if WP Umbrella had a feature where it would test the outbound server on (for example) on a daily basis and send a testmail. Results of this test can be seen inside WP Umbrella. Delivered means green, no mail send means notification of perhaps a mail to our support mailbox.
Thanks in advance and love the product.
Keep it up.

Each time i update plugins i need to make some test submissions of all forms to see if everything works fine. Would be awesome to have somehow done by wp umbrella.

Give site managers the ability to monitor all the contact forms across all websites at a glance. Ensuring seamless lead acquisition and great business productivity for both site managers and their happy site owners/clients.

This would be amazing - Would be great to test forms, eg Gravity forms or CF7

+1 for this idea, nothing worse than a form being broken and it not being picked up quickly.
I've been looking into this platform for my maintenance plan clients - something similar or even an integration would be great: https://checkview.io/

Thats a privacy issue. Use email authentication such as sendgrid to ensure delivery.

Not sure how wp umbrella could do this. The only to make sure forms are working is to test them.
You also need to use smtp for reliability and authentication.
I use wp mail smtp and wp mail logging. This allows you to have a backup smtp in case of issues, sends you reports and can also send alerts to messaging services in case of issues. The logging makes sure you have a copy of all submissions just in case.
