<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>6 events:
<ul>
<li>Post Status Change (+ 3 presets) – when the status of a post has changed.</li>
<li>Post Updated (+1 preset) – when a post has been updated in the database.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<p><strong>Adding Data to the subject and body</strong><br />

    Hello, John Doe! would be written as: Hello, ((user.nameDisplay | PostAuthor))</p>
<pre><code>Here are the available values:
    * post title: ((post.title | UpdatedPost))
    * post title, unfiltered: ((post.titleRaw | UpdatedPost))
    * post content: ((post.content | UpdatedPost))
    * post content, unfiltered: ((post.contentRaw | UpdatedPost))
    * post id: ((post.id | UpdatedPost))
    * post url: ((post.url | UpdatedPost))

    * user public name: ((user.nameDisplay | PostAuthor))

Zapier for WordPress


I see a lot of bad reviews, I'm assuming it's likely from people who aren't super familiar with how API's work and how to troubleshoot the failing connections.



Documentation for this plugin could certainly be improved, but it does work well.


Has always worked great for me

Zapier saves you time on tedious tasks by moving info between WordPress and your other favorite apps, so you can focus on your most important work.
