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.
