A step-by-step guide to triggering Zaplane workflows from core WordPress post events.
This guide walks you through adding a WordPress trigger to a Zaplane workflow, so your workflow runs automatically whenever a post event happens on your site (for example, when a post is published). Since WordPress is your own site, there’s no separate app or connection to set up — you can go straight to building the workflow. 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 WordPress Trigger
- Inside the workflow editor, click Select an app under the Trigger box, then choose Apps.
- Search for and select WordPress, then click Continue.Â
Step 3: Choose a Trigger Type
- On the Select tab, open the Trigger Type dropdown. WordPress offers several trigger types, including
- Choose the trigger type that matches what you want to automate (for example, “Post Published”), then click Continue.
Step 4: Configure the Trigger
- On the Configure tab, select a Post Type and a Post Status to narrow down which posts this workflow should watch, then click Continue.
Step 5: Test and Activate the Workflow
- On the Test tab, click Test Trigger to confirm it’s picking up the WordPress event correctly, then click Save.
- Finally, toggle the workflow to Active and click Update to publish it.Â
You’re all set
WordPress is now connected to Zaplane. Your workflow will run automatically every time the selected post event occurs on your site.
