## Description

Connect your plugins and automate your workflow.

Trigger Happy is a visual scripting tool for WordPress, allowing you to connect 
plugins and events together using a simple user interface.

Currently supports core WordPress functionality, plus WooCommerce and Ninja Forms

Some examples of what can be achieved using Trigger Happy:
 * Sending emails when
an event occurs (such as user registration) * Create posts from the front-end using
WP Forms * Calculate discounts or fees on WooCommerce orders * Create WooCommerce
coupons when a user fills out a contact form * Change Navigation menus when the 
user is logged in * Add HTML to a WooCommerce page * Modify the WordPress post titles
and content before they are rendered

### Conditional execution

Conditions can be applied to flows (for example, “If User is Logged In”). These 
conditions control the execution of the “Flow” they’re added to, allowing you to

create complex flows without having to write code.

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/trigger-happy` directory, or
    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Start creating your Trigger Happy flow by clicking “Trigger Happy->Add New” in

  Can I perform calculations?

Yes – calculations are fully supported. Use existing data (for example, post meta
data or product prices) to calculate values for actions.

  Does this replace PHP coding?

No. While it does allow you to add functionality to your site that would require
coding without this plugin, it is not intended to replace coding completely.
 What
it intends to do is allow non-developers to tweak the functionality of their site
without copying+pasting code.

  Do you support [Plugin name here]?

We are adding support for plugins every week. The supported plugins are listed above.

If you need support for a particular plugin, let us know.

  Can I hook into core WordPress hooks such as init or pre_get_posts

This will be possible in the next version. We are trying to figure out how to allow
this while protecting non-developer users from breaking their sites.

  Can I export my flow to a PHP file or plugin?

Not yet – but this is currently being worked on.

Great idea plugin, but… – action create / update post not work – last update 1 years
ago (now may 2019) – action update post not update a custom fields, only title and
content (suggest for update) Fix point 1 and review my rate. 🙂
