    Hi, I want to setup an automation that is triggered by an Elementor form submission and should create a new post. I found that basically. BUT: I want to create a new post that is a custom post type format I created with ACF. But that’s not available. The only option it shows is for the normal WordPress post type.

    Any idea to get that?

    Hi @aicomp ,

    Inside the “Create a Post” action, you can write your custom post type in the field “Type”.

    Hope it helps!

    Thank you for the fast reply. One more question. I have multiple custom fields in that custom post type and don’t use any standard fields like Content or Excerpt. Can I link the data from the form via the Post Meta Key settings? Or do I need another workaround with ACF as an additional action?

    Yes, in order to link the data you should use the meta settings section with the meta key and the value.

    Thank you. I have some smaller issues. To make the form submission possible for logged-in user as well as not logged-in users, which initial option should I choose? Does the anonymous option work if I don’t further specify any information to the known and unknown user? Or is it here better to setup 2 automations? If so, any chance to copy the setup from one initial scenario to another?

    And I have one select type field which has the same options in the ACF as well as in the Elementor form. But that data will not be synced. The same here with in the form uploaded pictures. Any chance to get that data synced?

    If you want to make an automation for logged-in and not logged-in users, you should do both a logged-in automation and an anonymous one.

    This two different type of automations works slightly different, so you need to set up them manually.

    Also, if you want to have the select field synced, you should have the same internal value in both select type fields.
