## Kuvaus

EmergencyWP is a dead man’s switch with integrated future messaging system. It checks
on your life status on a weekly basis by sending emails that contain a confirmation
link. Once clicked, the time frame for the next so called lifecheck starts again.
If missed, the user will be reminded to confirm in a second mail. If that’s missed
as well, the future messages will be send to pre-selected recipients.

Features of the plugin include:

 * Weekly life checks
 * Up to three recipients
 * Unlimited messages
 * Cron service
 * E-Mail templating
 * E-Mail log

**Extend the functions with EmergencyWP Pro!** – [See all packages](https://emergencywp.net/pricing/)

#### Extensions

EmergencyWP has a range of extensions that allow you to extend the power of the 
plugin. You can purchase all of these extensions at a significant discount within
bundle packages or you can purchase extensions individually.

 * [Add-ons Overview](https://emergencywp.net/features/add-ons-overview/) – See 
   all extensions that will secure your life even more.
 * [Trustees Add-on](https://emergencywp.net/downloads/trustees-add-on/) – Add a
   security layer to your installation by inviting trusted persons. Once they’ve
   accepted their role as trustees, EmergencyWP will ask them for the well-being
   of the user if he doesn’t respond to life checks anymore. It even has an inbuilt
   conflict management which will handle different feedbacks from trustees.
 * [Delivery conditions](https://emergencywp.net/downloads/delivery-conditions-add-on/)–
   Normally, messages will be sent once the time frame for confirming the life status
   has closed. With this add-on, you can plan this to be on specific dates or after
   a given amount of time only. This could be the case, e.g. if you want a future
   mail to be send to your wife on your wedding day one year after the passing.
 * [The Vault Add-on](https://emergencywp.net/downloads/ewp-vault/) – With the Vault,
   you can store confidential information from more than 15 categories in your WordPress
   website. It will be secured with a highly secure, 256-AES encryption and will
   hide your credentials and login data from eyes of other WordPress users or even
   hosting providers and hackers.
 * [Zapier Add-on](https://emergencywp.net/downloads/emergencywp-zapier-add-on/)–
   Connecting EmergencyWP to the huge amount of Zapier apps will make life validations
   via email almost obsolete and only needed in a very last instance.

## Asennus

 1. Upload the plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder
 2. Go to the Plugins page and activate EmergencyWP
 3. Follow the instructions to create recipients and messages. If needed, create a 
    separate cron job instead of using the WPCron.

## UKK

### What is a life check and what does it do?

A life check is a regular email that contains a confirmation link. Clicking that
link or button will reset the EmergencyWP counter. If a life check stays unconfirmed
for a preconfigured time frame (of your choice), a reminder will be sent. If the
reminder is being ignored as well, EmergencyWP will trigger the famous process it
was designed for (sending messages, delivering information, handling your assets–
you name it).

Life checks can be setup between 24 hours and 6 months, while the time frames for
the confirmation can be setup between 12 hours and 30 days.

### How safe is that EmergencyWP process?

We had more than 650 beta testers using EmergencyWP since 2016. Since more than 
36 months, we had no negative feedback on any process-related issues.
 Software 
is, however, steadily improving and we need the feedback of your users.

### Is it multisite compatible?

Not from the beginning. In order to have life checks working all subsites, you will
need to have an extra add-on to make EmergencyWP multisite compatible. Get more 
information on emergencywp.net.

Great idea for the plugin. I like it except it needs some work on the smtp email
for newest WP 6.9

EmergencyWP was first brought to my attention when they appeared on a podcast episode
with Mr Lee Matthew Jackson. This plugin allows me to setup a contingency that should
I be hit by a bus, taken ill or just unable to perform my duties my family can manage
my affairs without struggle or stress. A fantastic plugin. Worth every penny!
