Read post via Permalink

Hi @ventio,

Thank you so much for your kind words of feedback!

I tried using value_type: attachment_url but it doesn’t work (I get the error “We did not find any post for your given post_value.”)

Please note that this option is meant to search for attachments (media files) rather to search for posts. As mentioned in the action options, the post value accepts either an ID or a media attachment URL and it works in conjunction with the value_type field:

This argument accepts various values, depending on what you set up within the return_only argument. By default, you can enter the post ID. In case you want to search an attachment, you can also set the attachment URL as a value – please note that in this case you have to adjust the value_type argument to attachment_url.

Getting posts via URL is a nice feature request, though. I’m passing it along to our developers! In the meantime, keep in mind that you can get any post (or page, or any custom post type in WordPress) id through various ways, even by inspecting the live page if needed! =)

I hope this helps so far!

All the best,
Omar

I was going to automate it with zapier where the input is the post permalink. In such a situation, I have no idea how to get the post id without unnecessary steps and burdening the server.

I would be very grateful if you could add such an option to your plugin. This will make it much easier not only for me ??

Hi @ventio,

Thank you for sharing more details about your workflow. I understand and agree that this could be handled more directly! I’ve asked our developers for such an update. However, please keep in mind that we can’t provide an ETA or a guarantee that this will be added soon, as new features and improvements are added on a wide range of criteria such as priority, number of requests, etc.

All the best,
Omar

Hey, is the feature we talked about already on the list for the next updates?
