How to Set Up Email Failure Alerts on WordPress via Telegram, Slack & Discord

WordPress relies on emails for many vital tasks, including transactional emails such as order confirmations, form submissions, password resets, and more. If your SMTP connection is interrupted or an email fails to send, you may lose sales opportunities or damage customer trust.
