About this plugin
Tired of logging into countless WordPress sites for routine checks? Synapse transforms your website into a powerful “WordPress Data Bridge”, giving you programmatic access to the data you need. Connect your site to automation platforms like n8n, Zapier, Make, or your own custom applications.
Synapse is the essential tool for developers, agencies, and security-conscious site owners who want to build efficient workflows, monitor sites remotely, and manage WordPress like a pro.
A POWERFUL LOCAL DASHBOARD & ROBUST API IN ONE

- Moderation Queue: See how many comments or posts are awaiting your approval.
But the true power lies in its API. See the full User Documentation to get started.
