Description
Trigv watches the WordPress events (Triggers) you choose and dispatches them as
push notifications through the Trigv API. Dispatch happens asynchronously in the
background, with retries, so your site stays fast.
- Pick from a curated catalog of WordPress Triggers.
- Map each Trigger to a Trigv channel and level, with an optional custom title/description template.
- Fire your own notifications from code with
do_action( 'trigv_send', $args ). - Shape or veto any notification with the
trigv_dispatch_argsandtrigv_pre_dispatchfilters. - Add-ons can register more Triggers via the
trigv_triggersfilter.
Developer API

Configuration
Set the API key on the Trigv admin screen, or define it in wp-config.php:
define( 'TRIGV_API_KEY', 'trgv_xxxx_yyyy' );
External services
This plugin connects to Trigv, a third-party push-notification service, to deliver the WordPress events you choose as notifications on your devices.
When a Trigger you have enabled fires — or you send a test notification, or you call do_action( 'trigv_send', ... ) — the plugin sends an HTTPS request to the Trigv API at https://api.trigv.com. Each request includes:
- the notification channel, title, and (optionally) description, level, event type, delivery urgency, image URL, and an idempotency key;
- your Trigv API key, sent as an
Authorizationrequest header; - a
User-Agentrequest header identifying the plugin and its version.
No data is sent until you enter a Trigv API key and enable at least one Trigger (or trigger a manual/test send). Trigv stores only event metadata such as timestamps, delivery status, and usage counts; notification content is delivered to your devices and is not retained on Trigv servers.

Installation
- Upload the plugin to the
/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install it directly from the WordPress.org Plugin Directory via Plugins > Add New. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
Go to the Trigv admin screen and enter your Trigv API key. Alternatively, define it in
wp-config.php:define( ‘TRIGV_API_KEY’, ‘trgv_xxxx_yyyy’ );
Enable the Triggers you want to watch and map each one to a Trigv channel and level.
- (Optional) Send a test notification from the admin screen to confirm delivery to your devices.
FAQ
-
Do I need a Trigv account?
-
Yes. You need a Trigv account and an API key to deliver notifications. Sign up at https://trigv.com.
-
Where do I get my API key?
-
Create an API key in your Trigv account, then enter it on the Trigv admin screen or define
TRIGV_API_KEYinwp-config.php. -
Does dispatching notifications slow down my site?
-
No. Notifications are dispatched asynchronously in the background using Action Scheduler, with automatic retries, so page loads stay fast.
-
Can I send my own custom notifications from code?
-
Yes. Fire a notification from anywhere with
do_action( 'trigv_send', $args ). See the Developer API section above and the full developer guide. -
Can I modify or block a notification before it is sent?
-
Yes. Use the
trigv_dispatch_argsfilter to reshape the data, or thetrigv_pre_dispatchfilter to veto a dispatch. Add-ons can register more Triggers via thetrigv_triggersfilter. -
What data is sent to Trigv?
-
Only the notification content you configure (channel, title, and optional description, level, event type, and image), along with your API key and a User-Agent header. Nothing is sent until you enter an API key and enable a Trigger or send a test. See the “External services” section above for full details.
-
Why aren’t my notifications being delivered?
-
Check that you have entered a valid API key, enabled at least one Trigger, and that WP-Cron (or a real cron) is running so Action Scheduler can process the background queue. Sending a test notification from the admin screen helps confirm your setup.
