Description
Uncanny Automator is the easiest and most powerful way to automate your WordPress site with no code. Build automations in minutes that connect your WordPress plugins, sites and apps together using billions of recipe combinations.
Here’s how Uncanny Automator works:
When something happens, Automator can make other things happen.
When a user buys a product, add them to a membership level, enroll them in a course and pass their information to Google Sheets.
It’s that simple! Here’s a video outlining how it all works.
If you’ve used Zapier, setting things up will be intuitive. And if not, that’s okay too!
E-commerce Automation
Improve customer engagement by having your purchases trigger marketing automation campaigns, award store credit, promote 5-star reviews, schedule time-limited bonus offers and offer profile-driven discounts. Or for advanced reporting and customer service, create WooCommerce automations that send purchase details to Google Sheets, Slack and ActiveCampaign with our native integrations. It all happens automatically!
Google Sheets Automation
Build powerful reports and dashboards based on almost any WordPress activity or data with 1-click Google Sheets integration. Track purchases, course completions, blog post updates, forum posts and more. Not only can you create new rows for reports with Uncanny Automator, but you can update existing records, making it perfect for dashboard reporting.
Webhook Automation
Looking for the most powerful and comprehensive webhook support to connect your WordPress site to other apps? Uncanny Automator has support for security headers, any request method and any data format (including nesting support, JSON, XML, arrays and more). Use our 1-click sample generation and debug records to simplify connecting to other sites and systems, and send unlimited outgoing webhooks with the free version.
LearnDash and E-Learning Automation
Personalize student experiences and deliver better learning outcomes with no-code automations. Notify an instructor when users fail a quiz and enroll them in a remedial course–automatically. Add users to groups based on performance to allow easy collaboration. Automate student outreach when users fall behind in their coursework and offer easy learning interventions.
Social Media Automation
Spend less time sharing your posts and announcements on social media with automatic posting. Automatically post anything you want to Facebook Pages, Facebook Groups, X/Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, including with images and links. Sign up for a free account to get 250 credits for social posting; Pro plugin users get unlimited posting.
OpenAI Automation
Connect your new posts and site activity to OpenAI, with full support for ChatGPT and Dall-E models. Use Automator and the OpenAI to generate article summaries, social media posts, SEO descriptions, translations, email campaigns, featured images and more.
Marketing Automation
Integrate your favourite CRM with your WordPress plugins for full marketing automation. Add or remove tags based on course activity, purchases and more, and keep your email lists updated automatically. Or, with Automator Pro and Loops, send emails out in bulk and use Automator as your own CRM.

Over 350 automation triggers and actions are available for the plugins and apps listed above in the free version. There’s straightforward documentation in our Knowledge Base, including some quick and straightforward instructional videos. Developers, there’s robust documentation and code samples for you too!
Beyond the plugin and app integrations, this free version of Uncanny Automator also supports common WP triggers and actions in automations:
- A user views a page
- A user submits a comment
- A user logs in
- A user publishes a post
- Send an email
- Create a post
- Add a WP role
All WP plugin triggers and actions included in Uncanny Automator come with a forever free license, which allows unlimited usage on your WordPress site. By creating a free, optional Automator account, you can unlock 250 credits to try out app integrations. You can use credits on your site to:
- Post new content to Facebook Groups, Facebook Pages, X/Twitter and Instagram
- Pass records to Google Sheets (to generate charts or reports or manipulate data outside of WordPress)
- Notify staff of key events in Slack
- Register customers in Zoom events on product purchase
- Send Mailchimp campaigns when new blog posts are published
- Generate, proofread or translate text with OpenAI and GPT
- and more
Take automation to the next level
Uncanny Automator Pro, our premium plugin, adds even more features and integrations, including the ability to create users and posts, delay and schedule actions, connect multiple sites together, add conditions to actions, and unlock unlimited use of app integrations like Google Sheets and X/Twitter. It also triples the number of available triggers and actions.
Pro also adds features like Run Now and Loops, which allow you to do things like send emails to all users matching certain criteria, tagging users based on site activity, or even generating instant reports in Google Sheets of all users that completed a specific course, purchased a certain product, or anything else you can imagine.
Here are some of the other really cool automations you can create with Automator Pro:
- When a user makes a purchase using WooCommerce on one site, create a user on another WP site, send the user a link to set a new password, enroll the user in a course and add a membership level.
- When a user submits a form, add the user to a mailing list if their email address matches a certain domain, add them to a social group and schedule their trial access to expire in 7 days if they don’t make a purchase.
- When a new course is published, send an email campaign, post to X/Twitter and Facebook with GPT-generated content, post to the BuddyBoss sitewide activity stream and notify instructors in a Slack channel.
- Whenever you want, generate a list of all users in a group that haven’t yet completed a course.
And here are some of the key features in the Pro version that allow incredibly flexible and powerful automations for WP:
- Run recipes for logged out users with Everyone recipes; you can even create and update existing users.
- Have external apps trigger recipes and vice versa.
- Set up buttons and links that can trigger any recipe on click.
- Set custom user and post meta, both individually and in bulk via loops.
- Delay or Schedule an action
- Filter actions so they only run when conditions are met, like a matching user email domain or WordPress role.
- Run any WordPress hook or call custom functions in your recipes.
- Automatic log pruning to keep log size down.
Plus licenses and higher get access to our Custom User Fields, Restrict Content, and User Lists addons which makes it really easy to create and manage user profile fields in WordPress. Automatically add new fields to user edit pages and connect fields to your recipes and plugins like Advanced Custom Fields.
An Automator Pro license also includes access to our world-class premium support.

Automator supports GPT-3.5, GPT-4 and other OpenAI models.
Does Uncanny Automator allow me to customize the look and design of the emails it sends?
Yes, with WordPress’s “Send Email” action, send rich text, plain text and raw HTML emails. Create follow-up emails with your own custom HTML templates.
