This guide shows how to start a Zaplane workflow whenever an event happens in ZenCommunity, such as a user registering in the community. Make sure the ZenCommunity plugin is installed and active on your WordPress site before you begin.
Step 1: Create a Workflow
Go to Zaplane > Workflows from your WordPress dashboard, then click Create Workflow to open the workflow builder.
Step 2: Add the ZenCommunity Trigger
Click the Select an app trigger node on the canvas. In the Add Trigger panel, choose Apps, then select ZenCommunity from the app list and click Continue.
Step 3: Choose the Trigger Type
Open the Trigger Type dropdown and select the event that should start your workflow.
ZenCommunity supports several trigger types, including community registrations, profile updates, space membership changes, posts, comments, reactions, and event creation. Some additional triggers are available when the corresponding ZenCommunity Pro features are installed.
For this example, select User Registers in Community, then click Continue.
Step 4: Configure the Trigger
The User Registers in Community trigger does not require additional configuration. Click Continue to proceed to the Test tab.
Step 5: Test the Trigger
On the Test tab, click Test Trigger to check that Zaplane can receive ZenCommunity trigger data, then click Save.
The trigger can provide data such as the community profile ID, WordPress user ID, user email, and display name when available.
Step 6: Update and Activate the Workflow
Your trigger node now shows User Registers in Community.
Make sure the workflow status is Active, then click Update in the top-right corner to save and activate the workflow.
From now on, when a new user registers in the ZenCommunity community and the corresponding event is detected, Zaplane can start the configured workflow automatically.
Done!
ZenCommunity is now connected to Zaplane as a trigger. You can use community registration events to start workflows and connect them to other supported apps and actions.
