Zindua Connect
OTP login, WooCommerce notifications, and wp_mail routing for WordPress. Connect Gmail, Outlook, SMTP, or WhatsApp on zindua.run, then paste your API key in wp-admin.
API key onboarding
Paste key in wp-admin. No wp-config.php required.
WhatsApp + Email
OTP and alerts on both channels from one project.
Contact forms
wp_mail for CF7/WPForms, or built-in builder with dual templates.
WooCommerce
Registration OTP and order lifecycle events.
Secure by design
Sessions stay on Zindua. WP sends variables only.
Step-by-step setup
Configure Zindua first, then connect WordPress. One API key binds one site to one project.
Create a Zindua project
Sign up at zindua.run, create one project, and copy its API key (znd_live_… or znd_test_…). One WordPress site = one project key.
Connect channels in Zindua
In your project dashboard: Service → connect Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP for email. WhatsApp → scan the QR code if you need WhatsApp OTP or order alerts.
Create templates
Design message templates in Zindua (slug + variables). The plugin syncs slugs automatically into dropdown pickers. WordPress only sends dynamic variables, never raw HTML from WP.
Install Zindua Connect
Download the plugin ZIP below, upload via WordPress → Plugins → Add New → Upload, then activate.
Paste API key in WordPress
Open the Zindua menu in wp-admin, paste your project key, and click Connect & verify. When status shows Connected, templates and quotas are synced.
Configure & go live
Pick templates from synced lists, map events, attach notify + confirmation templates to contact forms, send a test, and check the send log. No SMTP plugin required.
Install the plugin
The ZIP contains the zindua-connect folder, ready for upload.

WhatsApp vs Email
WordPress never stores Gmail or SMTP credentials. Pick the channel per feature; Zindua delivers through your dashboard setup.
- Scan QR in Zindua → project → WhatsApp
- WordPress shows Ready + phone after sync
- OTP login, WooCommerce alerts, or both
- Connect Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP in Zindua → Service
- WordPress shows Ready + from address after sync
- Route wp_mail(), OTP, and order emails
Contact forms without SMTP
Use Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms or WPForms with Zindua routing, or design your own form in wp-admin.
Keep Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms or WPForms
Your WordPress site
Zindua menu → wp_mail → enable routing
Zindua email
Gmail, Outlook or SMTP connected on zindua.run
Install your contact plugin as usual (no SMTP settings).
In Zindua → wp_mail, turn on Route wp_mail through Zindua.
Submit a test form. The email is delivered via your Zindua project.
No WP Mail SMTP. No host SMTP panel. Email leaves through your Zindua project.

Built for trust
What stays on your WordPress site, and what stays on Zindua. No secrets or provider credentials are stored in the plugin.
WordPress
API key, plugin settings, OTP verification, shortcodes, and event mapping.
Zindua
Email and WhatsApp connections, templates, quotas, delivery, and provider sessions.
Credentials stay on Zindua
Gmail, Outlook, SMTP, and WhatsApp are connected in your Zindua dashboard. WordPress never stores provider passwords or session tokens.
One key per site
Each WordPress install uses one project API key. Quotas and plan limits are enforced through that key automatically.
Templates in your dashboard
Message design lives on zindua.run. WordPress picks synced template slugs and passes variables like names, order IDs, and OTP codes at send time.
