A step-by-step guide to triggering Zaplane workflows when ACF fields are saved.
This guide walks you through adding an Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) trigger to a Zaplane workflow, so your workflow runs automatically whenever a post with ACF fields is saved on your site. Let’s go through the process step by step.
Step 1: Create a Workflow
- Go to Zaplane > Workflows, then click Create Workflow.
Step 2: Add a Trigger
- Inside the workflow editor, click Select an app under the Trigger box, then choose Apps.
- Search for and select Advanced Custom Fields, then click Continue.
Step 3: Choose the Trigger Type
- On the Select tab, open the Trigger Type dropdown and choose ACF Fields Saved. Click Continue.
Step 4: Configure the Trigger
- On the Configure tab, optionally enter a Post ID to limit the trigger to a single post — leave it empty to fire for any post. Click Continue.
Step 5: Test the Trigger
- On the Test tab, click Test Trigger to confirm it’s picking up the Advanced Custom Fields correctly, then click Save.
- Finally, toggle the workflow to Active and click Update to publish it.
You’re all set
Advanced Custom Fields is now connected to Zaplane. Your workflow will run automatically every time a post’s ACF fields are saved on your site.
