Yak Event Hooks fires a webhook whenever an event happens on your site, carrying a clean JSON payload with everything your workflow needs — no API keys, no accounts, no third-party servers. Developed by **[YakWP](https://yakwp.com)**. See the [plugin homepage](https://yakwp.com/yak-event-hooks/) for documentation and downloads. Point it at any endpoint that accepts a JSON POST — n8n, Zapier, Make, IFTTT, your own server, or a cloud automation — and instantly start workflows on: Posts * Published — share to social, email subscribers, summarize with AI, republish elsewhere. * Updated — send diffs, updated titles or URLs to downstream systems.* Trashed / Deleted — clean up records, sheets, or external feeds. Comments * Added — forward new comments (author, content, post) to Slack, ticketing, or AI-reply pipelines. * Status changed — approve/unapprove/spam moderation notifications.* Deleted — keep moderation logs in sync. Media * Uploaded — every new attachment (image, file) with dimensions, size, and URL — perfect for image pipelines. Users * Registered — new-user signups (username, email, role) for membership/CRM automation. Payload example (post published): ``` ` ``` { “event”: “publish”, “post_id”: 42, “title”: “How to automate WordPress”, “slug”:“ automate-wordpress”, “url”: “https://example.com/automate-wordpress”, “post_type”:“ post”, “status”: “publish”, “author”: “Oliver”, “categories”: [“Automation”], “tags”:[“ webhook”], “timestamp”: “2026-09-05 12:00:00” } ` Your webhook URL is all it needs. Each event is toggleable, so you only send what you want. #### Made by YakWP Developed and maintained by **[YakWP](https://yakwp.com)**.
