This guide walks you through adding a BuddyBoss action to a Zaplane workflow, so that whenever your trigger runs, Zaplane can automatically create an activity post. Make sure your workflow already has a trigger set up before starting these steps.
Step 1: Create a Workflow
Go to Zaplane > Workflows from your WordPress dashboard, then click Create Workflow to open the workflow editor.
Before adding a BuddyBoss action, you need to set up a trigger first. Here is how to do it quickly:
- Click Select an app under the Trigger box, then choose Apps.
- Search for and select your trigger app — in this example, we are using aBlocks Contact Form.
- Choose the Trigger Type that matches the event you want to watch for, then click Continue.
- On the Configure tab, set up any required options, then click Continue.
- On the Test tab, click Test Trigger to confirm it is working correctly, then click Save.
Once your trigger is saved, proceed to the next step to add the BuddyBoss action.
Step 2: Add an Action
On your workflow canvas, click the + icon next to your trigger to open the Add Action panel.
Step 3: Select the App
Click Apps to browse available apps, then search for and select BuddyBoss from the list.
Step 4: Choose the Action Type
Several action types are available for BuddyBoss. For this guide, select Create Activity Post, then click Continue.
Step 5: Configure the Action
On the Configure tab, map the Author Email field to the email data coming from your trigger, and add the Activity Content for the post. You can also set the Activity Action text, an Activity Action Link, and check Hide Sitewide if you don’t want the post to appear on the sitewide activity feed. Click Continue when done.
Step 6: Test the Action
On the Test tab, click Test Action to run the action with sample data and confirm it works as expected. Once the test succeeds, click Save.
Step 7: Update and Activate the Workflow
Back on the workflow canvas, click Update to save your changes, and make sure the workflow status is set to Active. You can view execution results at any time in the Logs.
Done!
Your Zaplane workflow is now connected to BuddyBoss. Every time the trigger runs, a new activity post will be automatically created.
