 * Hi there,
 * I’m trying this plugin for the first time after having used Post SMTP on dozens
   of websites. The main selling point for me was Amazon SES integration, so thanks
   for providing that for free!
   Is there any way (or expected update?) that allows
   me to **trigger webhooks on delivery issues**? I don’t use any of the apps mentioned,
   but getting warnings for issues is pretty much a ‘must’ at this point.Thanks,
   Dave

 * Hello [@crossy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crossy/),
 * Thank you for trying FluentSMTP and for appreciating the free Amazon SES integration!
 * Regarding triggering webhooks on delivery failures, there isn’t a built-in feature
   for that directly within the plugin dashboard at this time. However, you can 
   achieve this with a bit of custom coding.
 * The following WordPress action hooks might be very useful for this:
    - `fluentmail_email_sending_failed`
    - `fluentmail_email_sending_failed_no_fallback`
 * You can use these hooks to trigger your desired webhook. Essentially, you’d create
   a custom function that is executed whenever one of these hooks is fired. Inside
   that function, you’d then implement the logic to send the webhook to your desired
   endpoint.
 * Here’s a basic outline of what the code might look like (this is just an example
   and would need to be adapted to your specific webhook needs):
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_action( 'fluentmail_email_sending_failed', 'my_fluentmail_webhook_handler', 10, 2 );
   
       function my_fluentmail_webhook_handler( $mail, $error_message ) {
         // $mail contains the WP_Mail object with email details (to, from, subject, body, etc.)
         // $error_message contains the error message related to the failure.
   
         $webhook_url = 'YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL'; // Replace with your webhook URL
   
         $payload = array(
           'to' => $mail->get_recipients(),
           'subject' => $mail->get_subject(),
           'error_message' => $error_message,
           // Add any other relevant data you want to send
         );
   
         $args = array(
           'method' => 'POST',
           'timeout' => 45,
           'redirection' => 5,
           'httpversion' => '1.0',
           'blocking' => true,
           'headers' => array(),
           'body' => $payload,
           'cookies' => array()
         );
   
         $response = wp_remote_post( $webhook_url, $args );
   
         if ( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
           error_log( 'Webhook failed: ' . $response->get_error_message() );
         } else {
           // You can log the webhook response here if needed
           //error_log( 'Webhook response: ' . wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ) );
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * **Important Notes:**
    - Replace `YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL` with the actual URL where you want to send the 
      webhook.
    - This is a simplified example. You’ll likely need to customize the `$payload`
      array to include the specific data you want to send to your webhook endpoint.
    - Add this code to your theme’s `functions.php` file (child theme is recommended)
      or a custom plugin.
    - Properly handle errors and exceptions in your webhook handler.
    - Consider security implications and implement appropriate measures if you are
      sending sensitive information.
 * I hope this provides a good starting point!
