Automated user creation doesn’t send notifications

Hi @chapmanmarketingsolutions,
Thanks for your message.

This could be caused by the zap not containing any user info. Normally, when a user is created, it’s created by a logged-in user. If you attempt to trigger a notification automatically, i.e. via a CLI, then it will most likely fail silently.

If it works via the regular WP Admin, then you’ll know that the plugin is working.

Additionally, can you try the user_register hook instead as this is the one that BNFW uses to trigger notifications of new users.

So this is what my developer said.

thank you a lot for your message.
What he wrote is correct: when you create a user using our plugin, there is no one logged in in this instance of the WordPress call.

The user_register hook fires by default since we use the default WordPress functionality for that.
Why is there a logged in user required?
If so, you might need to create a custom message or ask the other developer for some support on how it is possible without being logged in.
Hope this helps!

Hi @chapmanmarketingsolutions,
Thanks for confirming.

The only way around this at present is to attach a user to the create user action so that it might trigger the notification. I do plan on adding support for more automated ways to create users/posts/etc but there’s no timeframe for this at the moment.
