Use the WordPress Validate Password Reset Trigger

Understand the password-reset validation trigger, inspect its captured arguments, and avoid forwarding sensitive account data unnecessarily.

The Validate Reset trigger is listed in the WordPress User group in the AI Agent Workflows editor. It starts a workflow when WordPress fires the validate_password_reset hook. The exact timing follows that hook; not every user-related hook represents a completed account change.

When this trigger fires

This catalog entry listens to validate_password_reset. Check the hook’s timing and captured sample before connecting actions that modify accounts or send notifications.

Event data and privacy

User-trigger payloads use source, event, and hook arguments under args. WordPress user objects are converted to basic fields such as ID, login, email, and display name, but other scalar arguments may remain in the payload. Inspect a sample before mapping values.

Configure the trigger

  1. Open the workflow in the visual editor and open the node picker.
  2. Select WordPress, then User, and add Validate Reset.
  3. Inspect a captured sample to understand the hook arguments. This catalog entry has no user-specific filter field.
  4. Save and test only with controlled data. Avoid storing or forwarding credentials and other sensitive account information.
