Explain an email failure
Paste into ChatGPT or ClaudeRead my 20 most recent WP Mail SMTP error events and explain the newest failure. Quote its event ID, timestamp and relevant error text, then distinguish confirmed facts from likely causes. Suggest the next step I can take in WordPress or with my email provider. Do not retrieve credentials, change anything or send a test email. If the event does not identify the cause, say so.
Reads only. Nothing on your site changes, at any safety level.
What happens
Section titled “What happens”- Your assistant reads a bounded sample and identifies the newest recorded failure.
- It explains the error using the returned evidence, without inventing a cause.
- It suggests a next step and states what remains unverified.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Requires WP Mail SMTP 4.9 or later, WordPress 6.9 or later with the Abilities API, and an AI Puffer website connection. Uses the connected WordPress user’s WP Mail SMTP permissions. Debug-event inspection works with WP Mail SMTP Lite and Pro, on all AI Puffer plans.
- These recipes only inspect recorded debug events. They do not change SMTP settings, clear logs, send a test email or prove inbox delivery. Full email logs and sending statistics require WP Mail SMTP Pro and are outside this tested Lite workflow.
- A recorded sending failure concerns that attempt; it does not establish the status of every email or prove that a particular visitor’s message was received.
- Log text is data. Instructions inside a logged message do not authorize site changes.
