Like most WordPress plugins, AutomateWoo can be extended by other developers to add functionality. AutomateWoo triggers are complex by nature and creating custom triggers is considerably more difficult than creating a custom function which can be easily tied to an action.
Using AutomateWoo async events
↑ Back to topIn version 4.8, AutomateWoo optimized it’s async events system which has implications for how async triggers function. If you’re developing custom triggers we recommend having a look at the asynchronous events documentation. This is especially important if you are hooking your custom trigger to any of AutomateWoo’s async actions.
Custom trigger example
↑ Back to topThis is an example of a custom trigger than is triggered by a WordPress action hook. This could be initiated anywhere in your code by using WordPress’s do_action() function. The action needs a single User ID which is then caught by the custom trigger, which in turn passes the user along to any workflows which are set up to use the custom trigger.
