The plugin contacts this service only when an administrator explicitly clicks “Publish to network” in the WordPress admin area and confirms the Contest Gallery Network privacy notice. After publishing, the listing is refreshed once daily by WordPress Cron while the plugin remains active. Administrators can remove the listing again with “Unpublish from Network”. Submitted data includes public website and gallery listing information: website title and URL, gallery title, gallery description, tags/categories, the selected public gallery URL, preview image URLs, and public activity numbers such as entries, votes and comments. The plugin does not submit IP addresses, email addresses, usernames, registration data, comment text, form field values or other private user data to Contest Gallery Network. Contest Gallery Network may verify domain ownership, review submitted public content and images for safety, and publish the listing only if it passes review. If the service does not receive updates for 14 days, the public listing can expire and be removed from the Network index.

Uncanny Automator is the easiest and most powerful way to automate your WordPress site with no code. Build automations in minutes that connect your WordPress plugins, sites and apps together using billions of recipe combinations. Here’s how Uncanny Automator works: When something happens, Automator can make other things happen. When a user buys a product, add them to a membership level, enroll them in a course and pass their information to Google Sheets. It’s that simple! Here’s a video outlining how it all works. If you’ve used Zapier, setting things up will be intuitive. And if not, that’s okay too! E-commerce Automation Improve customer engagement by having your purchases trigger marketing automation campaigns, award store credit, promote 5-star reviews, schedule time-limited bonus offers and offer profile-driven discounts. Or for advanced reporting and customer service, create WooCommerce automations that send purchase details to Google Sheets, Slack and ActiveCampaign with our native integrations. It all happens automatically! Google Sheets Automation Build powerful reports and dashboards based on almost any WordPress activity or data with 1-click Google Sheets integration. Track purchases, course completions, blog post updates, forum posts and more.

Beyond the plugin and app integrations, this free version of Uncanny Automator also supports common WP triggers and actions in automations: A user views a page A user submits a comment A user logs in A user publishes a post Send an email Create a post Add a WP role All WP plugin triggers and actions included in Uncanny Automator come with a forever free license, which allows unlimited usage on your WordPress site. By creating a free, optional Automator account, you can unlock 250 credits to try out app integrations. You can use credits on your site to: Post new content to Facebook Groups, Facebook Pages, X/Twitter and Instagram Pass records to Google Sheets (to generate charts or reports or manipulate data outside of WordPress) Notify staff of key events in Slack Register customers in Zoom events on product purchase Send Mailchimp campaigns when new blog posts are published Generate, proofread or translate text with OpenAI and GPT and more Take automation to the next level Uncanny Automator Pro, our premium plugin, adds even more features and integrations, including the ability to create users and posts, delay and schedule actions, connect multiple sites together, add conditions to actions, and unlock unlimited use of app integrations like Google Sheets and X/Twitter. It also triples the number of available triggers and actions. Pro also adds features like Run Now and Loops, which allow you to do things like send emails to all users matching certain criteria, tagging users based on site activity, or even generating instant reports in Google Sheets of all users that completed a specific course, purchased a certain product, or anything else you can imagine. Here are some of the other really cool automations you can create with Automator Pro: When a user makes a purchase using WooCommerce on one site, create a user on another WP site, send the user a link to set a new password, enroll the user in a course and add a membership level. When a user submits a form, add the user to a mailing list if their email address matches a certain domain, add them to a social group and schedule their trial access to expire in 7 days if they don’t make a purchase. When a new course is published, send an email campaign, post to X/Twitter and Facebook with GPT-generated content, post to the BuddyBoss sitewide activity stream and notify instructors in a Slack channel. Whenever you want, generate a list of all users in a group that haven’t yet completed a course. And here are some of the key features in the Pro version that allow incredibly flexible and powerful automations for WP: Run recipes for logged out users with Everyone recipes; you can even create and update existing users. Have external apps trigger recipes and vice versa. Set up buttons and links that can trigger any recipe on click. Set custom user and post meta, both individually and in bulk via loops. Delay or Schedule an action Filter actions so they only run when conditions are met, like a matching user email domain or WordPress role. Run any WordPress hook or call custom functions in your recipes. Automatic log pruning to keep log size down. Plus licenses and higher get access to our Custom User Fields, Restrict Content, and User Lists addons which makes it really easy to create and manage user profile fields in WordPress. Automatically add new fields to user edit pages and connect fields to your recipes and plugins like Advanced Custom Fields. An Automator Pro license also includes access to our world-class premium support. For the full list of triggers and actions, make sure to check out this list.
