Description
Amanva – Silent Mode Alert for FluentSMTP helps WordPress administrators identify when FluentSMTP is configured not to send emails.
When FluentSMTP silent mode is enabled, the plugin checks this setting at a configurable interval and sends a reminder through every active FluentSMTP notification channel. Telegram, Slack, Discord, and Pushover are supported.
When silent mode is enabled but no FluentSMTP notification channel is configured, the plugin also displays a warning in the WordPress dashboard.
This independent plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by FluentSMTP.

Privacy
This plugin does not collect personal data, send data to its own servers, or store personal data. It stores only the configured interval and the notification pause timestamp in the WordPress options table.
When FluentSMTP silent mode is enabled or an administrator uses the test button, this plugin instructs FluentSMTP to send a predefined message through every enabled channel. The message contains the website home page URL and a notice that FluentSMTP silent mode is enabled. The selected service receives this message through the administrator’s existing FluentSMTP configuration.
The plugin can use the following third-party services only when the administrator has configured the corresponding FluentSMTP notification channel:
- FluentSMTP – Privacy Policy
- Telegram – Privacy Policy
- Slack – Privacy Policy
- Discord – Privacy Policy
- Pushover – Privacy Policy
Review the selected service’s terms and privacy policy before enabling a channel.

FAQ
-
Does this plugin send emails?
-
No. The plugin uses the configured FluentSMTP notification channels. It does not send reminders by email.
-
What happens when no notification channel is configured?
-
While silent mode is enabled, a warning is displayed in the WordPress dashboard. It links directly to the FluentSMTP notification settings.
-
What is the default check interval?
-
The default interval is 15 minutes. It can be changed in the plugin settings to a value between 1 and 1,440 minutes.
-
What does the notification pause do?
-
It suppresses external reminders until the selected date and time in the WordPress site time zone. Checks continue during the pause. After it expires, the field is cleared automatically and reminders resume at the next eligible check.
-
No. The test button sends a test notification to the active FluentSMTP channels regardless of the current silent mode setting or a configured notification pause.
-
Does the plugin replace FluentSMTP?
