## Description

Krom Automation is a visual workflow automation plugin for WordPress. It lets you
connect WordPress events (triggers) to automated responses (actions) using a drag-
and-drop canvas builder.

Think of it as “If This Then That” for your WordPress site — but with a proper visual
workflow builder, execution history, analytics, and AI-powered automation built 
in.

WordPress sites generate dozens of events every day: users register, posts get published,
comments get submitted, orders are placed. Responding to these events manually is
repetitive and error-prone. Krom Automation automates these responses. You build
a workflow once, and it runs automatically every time the triggering event fires.

#### Core Features

 * **16 built-in triggers** — User, Post, Comment, Media, and WooCommerce events
 * **21 built-in actions** — Email, User management, Post management, Comment management,
   HTTP requests, and AI
 * **Visual workflow builder** — ReactFlow canvas with drag-and-drop nodes
 * **Delay scheduling** — Postpone actions by minutes, hours, days, or weeks using
   Action Scheduler; or set a custom number of seconds
 * **Merge tags** — Inject live data from the triggering event into any action field
 * **Run-once enforcement** — Prevent duplicate executions per entity
 * **Execution logging** — Full audit trail with per-step status
 * **Analytics and reports** — Daily stats, charts, and CSV export
 * **Workflow simulator** — Test workflows without side effects
 * **Template library** — Ready-made workflow templates across six categories
 * **AI actions** — Generate text, moderate content, and auto-tag posts using GPT-
   4o, Gemini, and Groq models
 * **WooCommerce integration** — Order triggers and coupon/status actions bundled
   in the free plugin
 * **Import / Export** — Share workflows between sites as JSON files

#### All 16 Triggers

**User:** User Registered, User Profile Updated, User Login, User Logout, User Role
Changed, User Deleted, Password Reset

**Post:** Post Published, Post Updated, Post Deleted, Post Status Changed

**Comment:** Comment Submitted, Comment Approved

**Media:** Media Uploaded

**WooCommerce:** WooCommerce Order Created, WooCommerce Order Completed

#### All 21 Actions

**Email:** Send Email

**User:** Create User, Update User Meta, Change User Role, Send Password Reset

**Post:** Create Post, Update Post, Update Post Field, Change Post Status, Add Post
Meta, Delete Post

**Comment:** Add Comment, Update Comment Status, Add Comment Label, Add Comment 
Meta

**Integration:** HTTP Request (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE — with JSON response
parsing)

**AI:** AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, AI Auto-Tag

**WooCommerce:** Create WooCommerce Coupon, Update Order Status

#### AI Actions

Three AI actions are included in the free plugin. They require an API key from at
least one supported provider:

 * **OpenAI** — GPT-4o Mini, GPT-4o
 * **Google Gemini** — Gemini 2.0 Flash, Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview, Gemini 2.5 Pro
   Preview
 * **Groq** — Llama 3.3 70B, Llama 3.1 8B

Use AI Generate Text to write personalized emails, summarize post content, or draft
social copy. Use AI Content Moderation to automatically filter spam and toxic comments.
Use AI Auto-Tag to apply relevant tags and categories to new posts.

#### Template Library

Ready-made templates are included across six categories: AI automation, User onboarding,
Post notifications, Comment moderation, scheduled digests, and WooCommerce sequences—
plus a blank canvas starter. WooCommerce templates appear in the library when WooCommerce
is installed and active. The scheduled digest templates require Krom Automation 
Pro (a Pro trigger or integration) and are hidden from the library until Pro is 
active.

#### WooCommerce Integration

WooCommerce triggers and actions are bundled in the free plugin at no extra cost.
Automate order confirmations, generate personalized coupons on first purchase, send
post-purchase follow-up sequences, and update order statuses automatically — all
without any third-party service.

#### Analytics and Reporting

The dashboard shows total executions, active workflows, estimated time saved, failed
execution counts, and an execution trend chart. The Reports page provides execution
charts with date range filtering, success rate, per-workflow breakdowns, and CSV
export. Every execution is logged with a step-by-step trace showing status, output,
and error messages.

### External Services

Krom Automation optionally connects to the following third-party AI services when
the site administrator configures API credentials and creates workflows that use
AI actions. No data is sent to these services unless AI actions are explicitly used
in a workflow.

#### OpenAI

 * **What it is:** AI language model service used by the AI Generate Text, AI Content
   Moderation, and AI Auto-Tag actions.
 * **Data sent:** The prompt text and any workflow data included in the prompt, 
   as configured by the site administrator.
 * **When:** Only when a workflow containing an AI action is triggered and the OpenAI
   provider is selected.
 * **Endpoint:** `https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions`
 * **Terms of Use:** https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
 * **Privacy Policy:** https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

#### Google Gemini

 * **What it is:** AI language model service used by the AI Generate Text, AI Content
   Moderation, and AI Auto-Tag actions.
 * **Data sent:** The prompt text and any workflow data included in the prompt, 
   as configured by the site administrator.
 * **When:** Only when a workflow containing an AI action is triggered and the Google
   Gemini provider is selected.
 * **Endpoint:** `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/chat/completions`
 * **Terms of Use:** https://policies.google.com/terms
 * **Privacy Policy:** https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### Groq

 * **What it is:** AI inference service used by the AI Generate Text, AI Content
   Moderation, and AI Auto-Tag actions.
 * **Data sent:** The prompt text and any workflow data included in the prompt, 
   as configured by the site administrator.
 * **When:** Only when a workflow containing an AI action is triggered and the Groq
   provider is selected.
 * **Endpoint:** `https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions`
 * **Terms of Use:** https://groq.com/terms-of-use/
 * **Privacy Policy:** https://groq.com/privacy-policy/

### Privacy Policy

Krom Automation stores workflow configuration, execution logs, workflow notes, analytics,
variables, and approval records in the WordPress database. Depending on the workflows
created by the site administrator, this data may include user IDs, email addresses,
post IDs, comment IDs, WooCommerce order IDs, action inputs, action outputs, status
messages, and error messages.

Krom Automation can send email through the WordPress mail system, make HTTP requests
to administrator-configured URLs, and run AI actions through third-party providers.
AI actions send the configured prompt and workflow data selected by the administrator
to the chosen provider, such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Groq. Those services may
process data according to their own terms and privacy policies.

Krom Automation does not send data to these third-party AI providers unless the 
site administrator configures API credentials and creates workflows that use AI 
actions. Site administrators are responsible for reviewing workflow content and 
third-party service policies before enabling those actions.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `krom-automation` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. Navigate to **Krom Automation** in the admin sidebar
 4. Create your first workflow or install a template from the Template Library

## FAQ

### Do I need to know how to code?

No. The visual workflow builder is a drag-and-drop canvas. You select a trigger,
add actions, configure fields with point-and-click forms, and activate the workflow.
No PHP, JavaScript, or SQL required.

### Does the free version include WooCommerce support?

Yes. WooCommerce Order Created and WooCommerce Order Completed triggers, as well
as the Create Coupon and Update Order Status actions, are all included in the free
plugin. WooCommerce must be installed and active.

### Do AI actions require a paid plan?

No. The three AI actions (AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, AI Auto-Tag) 
are included in the free plugin. You do need to supply your own API key from OpenAI,
Google Gemini, or Groq. Those services may have their own costs depending on usage.

### Can I test a workflow before activating it?

Yes. The Workflow Simulator runs a full dry-run execution of your workflow using
real data from your site, but without sending emails, creating posts, or making 
API calls. You can review every step’s expected input and output before going live.

### Can I send workflows to another WordPress site?

Yes. Any workflow can be exported as a JSON file and imported on any other WordPress
site running Krom Automation. This works for sharing workflows between staging and
production environments.

### What happens if an action fails?

A failing step is recorded in the execution log with its error message. Each action
has a configurable failure behavior: by default the workflow stops at the failed
step; you can instead set an action to be skipped on failure so the remaining steps
continue. You can also enable automatic retries and email alerts for failed workflows
in Settings  Notifications, and review failed executions from the Logs page.

### How are delays handled on busy sites?

Delays use Action Scheduler — the same background job library used by WooCommerce
and other major plugins. Delayed actions are queued as background jobs. Like all
WP-Cron-based scheduling, job timing depends on your site receiving traffic or having
a server-side cron configured; on very low-traffic sites a delayed action may run
later than scheduled.
