AI chatbot for Post SMTP: read logs and explain mailer setup
SleekAI pulls Post SMTP log rows, the postman_options config, OAuth state for Gmail and Microsoft 365, and notification channels into the prompt and answers with your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter key.

Post SMTP support without the screenshot ping pong
Post SMTP keeps every send in a custom log table with subject, recipient, status, mailer, and the raw response. The current transport, OAuth tokens, sender details, and backup configuration live in the postman_options option, with state in postman_state_options. The plugin also writes to its own debug log and supports Chrome push and mobile app notifications for failures. Most of that signal never reaches a support agent.
SleekAI maps those fields as prompt variables. The bot can tell a visitor that the active transport is Microsoft 365 OAuth, that the token refreshed three hours ago, and that the last failure was a 535 on the backup SMTP because the app password is stale. Display conditions scope each bot by URL pattern, role, or post type, and conversations log model name, token count, and origin URL.
Generic bots send users to the wrong settings panel because they do not know Post SMTP from PHPMailer or WP Mail SMTP. They miss the difference between SMTP-API and OAuth transports, they ignore the mobile app integration, and they cannot explain why an email failed yesterday because they cannot read the log. A SleekAI bot can.

Comparison
Generic chatbot vs SleekAI for Post SMTP
Generic chatbot
- Confuses Post SMTP with PHPMailer and gives wrong configuration steps
- Cannot read post_smtp_logs so cannot identify the failing send
- Misses the difference between SMTP and OAuth transports completely
- Has no idea whether the OAuth token has expired or refreshed
- Cannot explain Chrome push and mobile app alert flows accurately
SleekAI chatbot
-
Reads recent rows from
post_smtp_logswith status and transport -
Sees active transport and sender from

Knows OAuth refresh state from
postman_state_options - Explains fallback, notification channels, and Chrome push correctly
- Cites the right Gmail, Outlook, SendGrid, and Brevo setup docs
Features
What SleekAI gives you for Post SMTP
OAuth state aware
The bot can read when the Gmail or Microsoft 365 token last refreshed and whether the next refresh is due. That turns vague my emails stopped sending into a one-sentence reconnect the app instruction.
Log-driven diagnostics
Recent rows from post_smtp_logs feed the prompt with subject, recipient, status, and transport. Visitors stop sending screenshots and start getting answers that reference the actual failure code and timestamp.
Knows the mobile and push flow
Post SMTP has Chrome push notifications and a mobile app for failure alerts. The bot can explain how they are wired, why a push fired, and how to mute one without inventing a hosted service that does not exist.
Use cases
Where this chatbot earns its keep
Membership site support
Membership and LMS sites that depend on transactional email use the bot to give members instant answers about missing receipts or welcome emails without an admin in the loop.
Docs site assistant
Embed the bot on Post SMTP documentation or help center pages so visitors can ask why a Mailgun setup is failing, with the bot citing the exact settings panel and the right docs link.
WP maintenance retainers
Maintenance shops add the bot to their client portal so clients can ask why a notification did not arrive. The bot answers from the live Post SMTP log instead of pinging a human.
The bigger picture
Why Post SMTP plus a real chatbot is the right pairing
Post SMTP has been around since 2017 and now serves more than 400,000 active sites. It supports OAuth for Gmail and Microsoft 365, classic SMTP, several API mailers, fallback connections, and a notification system that includes Chrome push and a dedicated mobile app. That capability surface is exactly where generic chatbots fall over.
A generic bot does not know whether you are on OAuth or SMTP. It has no idea your token refreshed three hours ago. It cannot tell you that the last 14 sends failed with InvalidAuthenticationToken because it cannot read the log table.
So it sends users to wrong settings panels and burns trust. SleekAI fixes this with simple variable mapping. The bot reads the log, the option, and the state, and the system prompt teaches it the language of Post SMTP.
The result is short, accurate answers like reconnect the Microsoft 365 app or turn on the Brevo fallback, with a real reason behind each one. Privacy stays under your control. The model call uses your own API key, the data the model sees is only what you expose, and the guideline filter blocks the bot from leaking credentials.
Token usage and model name are logged per conversation so you can prove cost against ticket deflection before you scale to more sites.
Questions
Common questions about SleekAI for Post SMTP
It works with free. The custom log table, transport selection, OAuth flows, and notification settings are all available in the free plugin. Pro adds extensions like more notification channels and advanced analytics, which the bot can read if you expose those fields, but they are not required.
 Only if you map it, and you should not. Map state fields like last refresh time and token validity instead. The guideline filter blocks the bot from echoing tokens back into chat, and Post SMTP supports defining OAuth secrets in wp-config constants which keeps them out of the database.
 It quotes the row from post_smtp_logs by subject, recipient, transport, and response. For OAuth transports it cross-references postman_state_options to see if the failure correlates with a token issue. It does not invent codes, it only reports what the log says.
 No. The chatbot is read-only against Post SMTP data. Chrome push alerts, mobile app pings, and Slack notifications continue to fire as configured. The bot can explain why they fired, but it does not send or suppress them.
 Any OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or OpenRouter model that supports chat completions. For Post SMTP triage, GPT-4o mini or Claude 3.5 Haiku give fast, cheap answers. You provide the key, SleekAI calls the API directly, and token usage is logged per conversation.
 Display conditions. Run a public bot on your docs pages that only sees counts and statuses, and a separate admin bot scoped to logged-in administrators that sees full log rows including transports and response bodies. Multibot lets both run with different prompts.
 Yes, if you point the system prompt at the steps. It can recite the redirect URI, the scopes Post SMTP requires, and where to paste the client ID and secret. It will not click through the Google Cloud console for the user, but it will explain every step in order.
 Model usage is on your own provider account. Post SMTP triage messages are short, so a typical conversation is a few cents at most on GPT-4o mini. SleekAI itself is the WordPress toolkit license you already have. There is no per-message platform fee from us.
