Introduction
The WPO365 Microsoft Graph Mailer for WordPress configures your WordPress website to send emails using the Microsoft Graph API instead of – for example – SMTP. Sending WordPress emails using the Microsoft Graph API has become the only available alternative after Microsoft has disabled basic authentication (username and password) over the SMTP protocol.
Supported Features
Delivery
- Send WordPress transactional emails from one of your Microsoft 365 Exchange Online / Mail enabled accounts using Microsoft Graph instead of – for example – SMTP.
- Choose between delegated (send mail as a user) and application-level (send mail as any user) type permissions.
Send as HTML
- Send emails formatted as HTML.
Save to sent items
- Emails sent will be saved in the account’s mailbox in the Sent Items folder, further helping to track (successful) mail delivery.
