Is it possible to trigger based on a ACF field?

Hi there,

Good day! Thanks for reaching out to us.

Triggering or filtering an automation based on ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) plugin, is not yet supported.

However, based on the type of custom field you created. You may try to use our Thrive Automator plugin to update the values assigned to your custom fields.

For example, I have the “Colleagiate Number” custom field created in ACF. – https://share.getcloudapp.com/P8uNlPBe

I could create an automation where if a user profile is updated, the “Colleagiate Number” field value will be updated.

See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/12uREZW7

Will this work for you?

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Jona

Thank you, but I need to do the opposite way: When the custom field change, do an action.

Regards,

Raul

Hi Raul,

I understand that you’d like a Thrive Automator trigger that executes the automation when an ACF custom filed changes.

I’m afraid that we do not support this trigger yet but the good news is that we’ve built Thrive Automator to be 3rd party friendly so that other developers can extend Thrive Automator’s capabilities.

Please have a look at these articles and share them with the ACF plugin developers to explore the option of adding a new trigger –

I’ve also logged a feature request for Thrive Automator (logged under AUT-855).
You can see how we handle feature requests here – https://help.thrivethemes.com/en/articles/4425620-how-are-bugs-and-feature-requests-logged-and-released

Please do let us know if there’s anything else that we can assist you with.

Best regards,
June
