Question

What WordPress action triggers the "Updated Post" trigger in Zapier

I want to trigger the “Updated Post” trigger in Zapier not just by pressing the Update button on a post (which works currently) but when updating posts myself programmatically (which isn’t currently working). I’m already calling wp_update_post() but that doesn’t seem to trigger this. What WordPress action should I trigger in code to make this happen?

Hi @baseye2421 

Some of that behavior can depend on the configured field settings in the WordPress Zap trigger.

Hi @baseye2421

Yes, this is configured correctly. Just that the event isn’t firing when updating a post using wp_update_post() but does work when updating using the admin interface. I’m just trying to figure out what action I can trigger in WordPress to have it fire. Ideally such a simple piece of information would be in the docs, but there doesn’t seem to be any info that I could find on the details of how Zapier integrates with WordPress, nor is it obvious from the Zapier plugin.
