JM Jooosi Mail

Mailtrap

Mailtrap can send through its live API, SMTP, or sandbox API. Use the sandbox scheme to route messages to a Mailtrap testing inbox; it requires both a token and an inbox ID.

Before you begin#

  • You need access to the provider account and the Jooosi Mail Connections screen. If the provider requires sender or domain verification, complete it in the provider account first.
  • Copy credentials directly from the provider’s own console into the matching Jooosi Mail field. Keep secret values private; never include them in screenshots or support messages.

Consult provider sending documentation for any provider-side setup requirements.

Supported transport and settings#

  • mailtrap+api (default): Required: Mailtrap token (secret).
  • mailtrap+smtp: Required: SMTP API token in the Password field (secret).
  • mailtrap+sandbox: Required: Mailtrap token (secret) and sandbox inbox ID (number).

Create the connection#

  1. In WordPress admin, open Jooosi Mail → Connections and choose New connection.
  2. Enter a descriptive Connection name and select Mailtrap in Profile.
  3. Choose the transport scheme you want to use. Enter its required fields listed above and leave fields for other schemes empty.
  4. Review the sender, routing, and advanced settings for this connection.
  5. Choose Create connection to save it.

The token field serves both API modes; SMTP uses Password and asks for no username.

For the shared form workflow, see Connect a provider.

Verify delivery#

Use Send a test email with a recipient you control; it sends a real message through this connection. Check its status and the email log for the provider response.

Webhooks#

Mailtrap webhooks report delivery, engagement, unsubscribe, spam, bounce, suspension, or rejection events; Jooosi Mail reads event batches. The adapter accepts requests without a signature (unsigned-allowed), so review endpoint exposure before registering one. See Provider webhooks for the Jooosi Mail endpoint and event log.

Troubleshooting#

  • For missing-field validation, confirm the scheme and fill all required settings listed above.
  • After a failed test, re-copy the matching credential and inspect the connection status and email log.
  • For sandbox delivery, verify that the inbox ID belongs to the same Mailtrap account as the token and that it is entered as a positive number. For live API or SMTP sending, switch to that scheme and enter its matching credential rather than the sandbox inbox ID.
