Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin

விளக்கம்

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, 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.

Free doesn’t mean limited

The free version of Automator is incredibly powerful and comes with built-in automation and integration support for all of these popular apps and WordPress plugins:

Supported apps

WordPress Plugins Integrations

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, 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 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:

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.

This plugin is almost perfect, but for me, it needs more integrations, especially with the growth of platforms like Threads and BlueSky, especially with more people leaving Twitter/X and Facebook Groups are no longer available. Discord integration would also be nice.

I regret only discovering this plugin now. Where have I been all this time? Thank you for this awesome plugin!

This awesome plugin keeps my whole page running. I have automated nearly everything with uncanny automator. If a client buys an online course, even my gamification features are based on uncanny automator in combination with MyCred.

Of course, there are an incredible number of plugins on the market, many of which have great and useful features and good support. But all of that would not do justice to Uncanny Automator. Not only is its range of functions so powerful, but its support is also top-notch. We had a special, complicated use case that the developers worked on until it was solved. And that’s exactly what makes the difference! Staying on the ball, helping the customer and thus also setting your own product apart from the rest of the market! If I could, I would give these developers 6 stars.

Estou gostando muito do plugin, já utilizo a algum tempo, mas ultimamente tive que utilizar o sistema de e-mail marketing e quando fui tentar vincular a conta da Brevo via API, simplesmente não reconhece, já refiz inúmeras chaves de API, mas nunca funciona. Pode ver isso por favor. O Uncanny Automator não está reconhecendo a chave de API da Brevo, dessa forma, ficamos sem conexão.

Functions, development, support: All top notch!With this plugin you can connect almost every platform and app to WP and WooCommerce. Incoming as well as outgoing data. Uncanny Automator is a very complex tool, so that we are able to realise easy and highly advanced tasks. Support is there to help and to provide the right steps to follow, through very well thought out and comprehensive explanations. Also the pro version is absolutely worth it to really achieve whatever we imagined so far. This plugin also permits us to be as compliant as possible with GDPR, as we can define for the webhook and API exactly which customer data is pushed from our server to other apps and automation tools. In our case ONLY first name and email address. This is not possible with WooCommerces own webhooks. And the team keeps developing and improving every aspect with open ears and eyes for suggestions, to make things even easier.

Changelog

6.1 [2024-11-26]

New Feature:

  • Recipe template library – Ready-to-use automation templates are here to save the day! Build workflows faster than ever, no assembly required. Just pick, tweak, and automate like a pro. #4916

New Triggers:

  • MemberPress – A user is added to a membership #3608
  • MemberPress – A user is removed from a one-time subscription product #3609

New Action:

Updated:

  • Restrict Content Pro – Add the user to a membership level – Registration date field now arrives right on time, no more tardy data! #5084
  • WhatsApp – Added an extra user-agent for Webhook validation, because even Webhooks deserve a proper handshake. #5215

Fixed:

  • FluentCRM – Triggers not handling multiple recipes with the same trigger correctly have been whipped into shape—no more identity crises! #5223
  • Token parsing – We’ve made sure token parsing still plays nice with PHP 7.0, because even older PHP deserves some love. #5202

  • WordPress – Create a post – Backslashes are back, baby! Your saved actions won’t strip them anymore. #5062

Under the hood:

  • Activating Automator via WP-CLI – The uap_options table is mandatory, so we told a couple of impatient lines of code to wait their turn before calling it. Now everything activates in the proper order, like a well-behaved queue. #5235
  • Import recipes – Windows path validation has been improved—no more confusion between slashes and backslashes! #5209
  • Improved token parser – The parser is sharper, faster, and sassier than ever. #4167
