SleekView Kanban for Mailgun
SleekView Kanban pulls Mailgun event logs into WordPress, groups every send by its delivery status, and lets ops drag failed and bounced messages into investigation lanes so support teams can resolve email problems without ever leaving the WordPress admin.

Why Mailgun event logs need a kanban
The Mailgun for WordPress plugin pipes transactional email through the Mailgun API and writes an event log row for every send with a delivery_status, a recipient, a subject, a message_id, and the timestamps for accepted, delivered, opened, complained, and failed. For a small site this log is a quiet audit trail, but the moment a SaaS or membership site relies on transactional email for password resets, receipts, and onboarding flows, that flat log table becomes the most important operational view in the admin.
SleekView Kanban reads the same wp_mailgun_events mirror rows and groups them by delivery_status so accepted, delivered, failed, bounced, and complained each become a dedicated lane with a live row count. Each card surfaces the recipient email, the subject line, the original send timestamp, and the SMTP response code on the failed events, which is exactly what an on-call engineer wants on a Monday morning when receipt emails are bouncing.
Dragging a failed card into an Investigating lane writes a status flag back to the event row, and dragging it into Resolved closes the loop. Cards in Delivered stay read-only as a historical audit. Bulk drag a batch of bounced recipients into a Suppressed lane and SleekView writes the suppression flag back to the Mailgun API in one round-trip so future sends skip those addresses.

Comparison
Mailgun event log vs SleekView Kanban
Mailgun event log table
- Flat event log makes every failure look the same in a long chronological list
- Filter by status needs constant clicks instead of always-visible lane counts at a glance
- Suppressing a recipient means leaving WordPress and opening the Mailgun SaaS dashboard
- No way to mark events as investigating or resolved so triage state lives in tickets
- Bulk suppressing five bounced addresses needs five separate Mailgun dashboard actions
SleekView Kanban
- Reads the Mailgun event mirror so every send is visible without leaving WordPress
-
Lanes for
accepted,delivered,failed,bounced, andcomplained - Drag a bounced event into Suppressed and SleekView calls the Mailgun API for you
- Cards show recipient, subject, send time, and SMTP response on failed sends
- Investigating and Resolved lanes give support a triage state that survives plugin updates
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Mailgun for WordPress
Failure triage in one view
The Failed and Bounced lanes show the events that need action right now, with SMTP response codes on the front of each card. Drag the card into Investigating to assign it, into Suppressed to block the recipient, or into Resolved once the underlying issue is fixed. Triage state lives on the event itself, not in a separate ticket.
API-backed suppression on drop
Dropping a bounced or complained card into the Suppressed lane calls the Mailgun API to add the recipient to the account suppression list so future sends to that address never leave WordPress. The suppression survives plugin updates and is visible to anyone with Mailgun dashboard access for audit.
Role-aware triage actions
Support agents can move events between Investigating and Resolved but cannot suppress addresses. Ops engineers can drop into Suppressed and trigger the Mailgun API call. The same WordPress capability model that protects every other admin action protects every drag on the kanban triage board.
Audience
Where ops teams use the Mailgun kanban
Password reset deliverability
Resets are the most user-visible transactional email a SaaS sends. The kanban surfaces failed and bounced resets in real time so on-call engineers spot the spike before support tickets arrive and can suppress dead addresses or roll back the offending change.
Receipt and invoice tracking
Finance teams need every receipt to land in the customer inbox. The kanban groups receipts by delivery state and the Failed lane becomes the day-one triage queue when an MX record changes or a customer mailbox starts bouncing.
Domain reputation hygiene
Spam complaints and persistent bounces erode sender reputation. Bulk drag a week of complained events into Suppressed and SleekView calls the Mailgun API for every address so future sends skip them and the domain reputation stops degrading.
The bigger picture
Why Mailgun events read better as a kanban
Transactional email logs are the kind of data that look fine in a list right up until they do not. For most sites, weeks pass where every send is delivered and the log is silent. Then a DNS change, a customer mailbox upgrade, or a third-party MX rotation triggers a wave of failures and bounces that all need triage right now.
A flat log makes that wave hard to read because every row looks the same and the only differentiator is a small status pill or a delivery code. A kanban turns the wave into a lane. Suddenly the Failed column has forty cards in it instead of two, and the on-call engineer reads that signal in a single glance from across the room.
The Bounced column starts filling with the same recipient domain and the ops team spots the pattern. Investigating and Resolved lanes give the triage workflow a real surface that survives plugin updates and shift handoffs, instead of living in a chat thread or a ticket system. The kanban also lowers the barrier to suppressing a bad address.
A drag into Suppressed is the same gesture for one address as for fifty, so domain reputation hygiene becomes a daily habit rather than a quarterly project.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Mailgun for WordPress
Both. Triage state like Investigating and Resolved writes to the local event mirror table. The Suppressed lane calls the Mailgun API to add the recipient to the account suppression list so future sends skip that address everywhere, not just inside WordPress. Same drag, two consistent writes, one to the mirror and one to Mailgun.
 Use delivery_status for the primary lanes since it carries the exact values Mailgun emits including accepted, delivered, failed, bounced, complained, and unsubscribed. For more granular triage, compose the group-by from delivery_status plus a custom triage_state column so the same board shows both the Mailgun-side state and the in-house workflow state.
 Each lane paginates and only loads card data for the slice currently in view. Delivered comfortably holds millions of historical rows because the lane lazy-loads as you scroll. The Failed and Bounced lanes that actually need real-time accuracy stay snappy because they only carry the small slice of events from the recent window.
 Yes. Set permissions so the support role can drop into Investigating and Resolved but not into Suppressed. The Suppressed lane becomes a non-drop target for that role and the card snaps back. Ops engineers and admins keep full access to all lanes, so suppression stays a privileged action.
 The local mirror flag rolls back and the card returns to its previous lane with an inline error toast showing the API response. SleekView treats the API write as the source of truth so the kanban never drifts from the Mailgun account state. The failure is logged for audit and can be retried with another drag.
 Yes. Add a domain filter to the kanban view so the board scopes to only sends from the chosen domain. Save the filtered URL for each domain and the team responsible for that domain gets a focused triage board. The same Mailgun account drives multiple boards without any data duplication.
 It replaces it for the day-to-day triage work that ops teams actually do, like spotting failed receipts and suppressing bounced addresses. The Mailgun dashboard still has account-level analytics, domain reputation graphs, and webhook configuration that live outside the kanban scope. Most teams check the dashboard weekly and live in the kanban daily.
 No. The kanban only queries the event mirror table when the board is open, and even then it only pulls the lanes currently in view. There is no background polling, no extra cron, and no admin-init queries. Sites running the Mailgun for WordPress plugin already write the mirror table, so SleekView simply reads from rows that exist.
