What you can do from the Tools page

The available tools help you inspect Noptin, test important workflows, and maintain stored data. Depending on your setup, you can:

  • Review the debug log and scheduled tasks.
  • Trigger new-post automations for a specific post.
  • Send confirmation emails to unconfirmed subscribers.
  • Purge old completed, failed, or canceled tasks.
  • Validate and repair Noptin database tables.
  • Reset Noptin data when you need a completely fresh installation.

Before running a tool

Most diagnostic tools are safe to run at any time. Tools that delete data or modify database tables display a confirmation prompt before they run. Create a current database backup before using a repair or reset tool, especially on a production website.

The tools shown on your site may vary when another Noptin extension registers an additional maintenance or integration tool.
