Extracting a subfield value from ACF Repeater for Filter

  • I’ve used ACF to set-up a repeater field that’s associated with a WooCommerce order.

    This repeater field contains 3x subfields: name, email address and a “submission status” (which is a 1 or a 0).

    I’d like to grab the email address subfield from this repeater so that whenever the order has been saved, this triggers off sending of an email to this email address.

    However when I try and set up the filters for this workflow, I can only select the repeater field but not any subfields within this field.

    If anyone can provide insights on how to create a filter based on a subfield value that would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @moolahdigital,

    Thanks for letting us know. WunderAutomation has a lot of broad and generic functionality and while we try to cover each imaginable use case we can’t cover everything. Getting feedback like yours is the best way to guide us forward, so we really mean it, thanks.

    WunderAutomation already has support for “plucking” individual elements from a data structure, described in some detail here:
    https://www.wundermatics.com/2020/12/26/advanced-webhook-usage-with-wunderautomation-and-jsonpath/

    But as you have noticed, we never implemented this for Advanced Custom Fields (or standard custom fields either). So before we go and add this functionality to ACF custom fields it would be a great benefit to us if you could confirm that it’s likely to solve your use case.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you
