# Use class method from plugin as action hook

 * Hi, I’m using the WordPress Groups and Groups File Access plugins to handle file
   access and downloads on my site. The Groups File Access plugin has a class called“
   Groups_File_Access”, and within that class a method called “groups_file_served”.
 * My goal is to trigger a custom function whenever that method gets called from
   the plugin. In my functions.php file, I test the existence of the method with
   method_exists(“Groups_File_Access”, “groups_file_served”) and it returns true.
 * I essentially want to do something like add_action( array(“Groups_File_Access”,“
   groups_file_served”), “my_custom_function”) but haven’t been successful with 
   this. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 * Thanks,
 * Anna

 * Please identify exactly which plugin you are using and then post in that plugin’s
   dedicated forum via its page in the [Plugin Repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/).
   So the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.

 * Okay, I’ve done that as well. MY question here is I guess a more general one.
   I want to know if it is possible to use a class method as an action hook.
 * Something like add_action( array( “name_of_class”, “name_of_method” ), “my_callback_function”)
