Avoiding duplicate entry

    Is there any way to use this automation tool to reduce duplicate entry? I have two custom post types, the custom fields are user name, user image, user email and user phone. The personal info I need in each custom post type is identical so I’m wondering if you can automate the duplication of that data to be copied to the second custom post type database. I have to do this because I need to display the data in two separate single post template designs on the front end.

    Thanks,

    Jim

    Hi @jstrategy!

    I would be more than happy to assist you today.

    AutomatorWP is a pluguin that allows you to create automations, previously a series of triggers and actions are defined, once they are fulfilled then AutomatorWP executes that automation.
    In this link you will find more information about how AutomatorWP works and an explanatory video. https://automatorwp.com/docs/getting-started/what-is-automatorwp/

    To duplicate posts on the same site you can use the following automation:
    Trigger
    – User publishes a post
    Action
    – Create a post

    In case they are different sites you can use the Webhooks add-on, one of the features of this add-on is to send data from Site A to Site B, for example:

    SITE A
    Trigger
    – The user creates a post
    Action
    – Send data from the post with Webhook to Site B

    SITE B
    Trigger
    – Receive data from Site A
    Action
    – Create a post with the post data from Site A

    In this link you will find the documentation and a video where we explain how Webhooks works. https://automatorwp.com/docs/webhooks/

    Hope it helps!
