What it means: Runs before WordPress inserts a taxonomy term. Use it for checks or pre-processing; it does not confirm that the term was successfully created.

How to use it
- Choose this event only when its timing matches the step you need to automate.
- Review the trigger data in the editor and pass only necessary values to later actions.
- Test the workflow with a non-critical account or record before enabling it on a live site.
Important note
WordPress hooks may run during a process rather than after it has completed. Confirm the firing point and available data in your environment before relying on this trigger for business-critical automation.
