External Services

This plugin integrates with the Mailgun email delivery service to send outgoing emails via its API instead of the default wp_mail() function.

When enabled, the plugin communicates with the following Mailgun API endpoint: https://api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN/messages

Data sent to Mailgun includes:
– Sender name and email
– Recipient email(s)
– Email subject
– Message body (text or HTML)
– Optional headers (Cc, Bcc)

The plugin requires a valid Mailgun API key and domain to function. These credentials are stored in your WordPress database and used only to authenticate API requests to Mailgun.
