Hooks and actions

• wp_mail_catcher_mail_success is triggered when a message is sent and logged successfully. It has a single argument that is an array containing the log
  • id related to the id in the mail_catcher_logs MySQL table
  • time relative, readable time to when the log was saved
  • email_to the email address(es) that the message was sent to
  • subject the subject line of the message
  • message the contents of the message
  • status an integer depicting if the message was sent successfully or not (1 = sent successfully. 0 = sending failed)
  • error the error that occurred – if any
  • backtrace_segment a json_encoded object that shows which file and line the mail was initially triggered from
  • attachments a list of any attachments that were sent along with the email
  • additional_headers a list of any headers that were sent
  • attachment_file_paths a list of the location of any attachments that were sent
  • timestamp a unix timestamp of when the email was sent
  • is_html a boolean, that will be true if the message is a html email and false if not
  • email_from the from value of the email
• wp_mail_catcher_mail_failed is triggered when a message failed to send and logged successfully. It has a single argument that is an array containing the log (same as the arguments for wp_mail_catcher_mail_success)
• wp_mail_catcher_deletion_intervals is a filter that should return an array where each key is an amount of time in seconds, and the value is the label. Used to determine when a message has expired and should be deleted
• wp_mail_catcher_before_success_log_save is a filter that is called just before a successful log is saved. It has a single argument that is the transformed log that will be saved – use this to alter the log before it’s saved. Returning false will stop the log from being saved. Also note that this is fired even when an email has errored, because all logs are initially saved as “successful” before being possibly updated with an error (if applicable). This is because of the way the wp_mail and wp_mail_failed are implemented in WordPress.
  • time a unix timestamp of when the email was sent
