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. Not only can you create new rows for reports with Uncanny Automator, but you can update existing records, making it perfect for dashboard reporting.

Webhook Automation

Looking for the most powerful and comprehensive webhook support to connect your WordPress site to other apps? Uncanny Automator has support for security headers, any request method and any data format (including nesting support, JSON, XML, arrays and more). Use our 1-click sample generation and debug records to simplify connecting to other sites and systems, and send unlimited outgoing webhooks with the free version.

LearnDash and E-Learning Automation

Personalize student experiences and deliver better learning outcomes with no-code automations. Notify an instructor when users fail a quiz and enroll them in a remedial course–automatically. Add users to groups based on performance to allow easy collaboration. Automate student outreach when users fall behind in their coursework and offer easy learning interventions.

Social Media Automation

Spend less time sharing your posts and announcements on social media with automatic posting. Automatically post anything you want to Facebook Pages, Facebook Groups, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram, including with images and links. Sign up for a free account to get 250 credits for social posting; Pro plugin users get unlimited posting.

OpenAI Automation

Connect your new posts and site activity to OpenAI, with full support for ChatGPT and Dall-E models. Use Automator and the OpenAI to generate article summaries, social media posts, SEO descriptions, translations, email campaigns, featured images and more.

Marketing Automation

Integrate your favourite CRM with your WordPress plugins for full marketing automation. Add or remove tags based on course activity, purchases and more, and keep your email lists updated automatically. Or, with Automator Pro and Loops, send emails out in bulk and use Automator as your own CRM.

Free doesn’t mean limited

The free version of Automator is incredibly powerful and comes with built-in automation and integration support for all of these popular apps and WordPress plugins:

Supported apps

WordPress Plugins Integrations

Over 350 automation triggers and actions are available for the plugins and apps listed above in the free version. There’s straightforward documentation in our Knowledge Base, including some quick and straightforward instructional videos. Developers, there’s robust documentation and code samples for you too!

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, 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 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:

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.

Just What I was locking for

Ionawr 19, 2025
I was looking for a solution to connect Fluent CRM to Twilio I came across this tool it also allows me to connect wpform to Fluent as well I had a problem with the setup, I reached out to support they responded quickly with a video help me work throw the problem.

Almost perfect

Tachwedd 30, 2024 4 replies
This plugin is almost perfect, but for me, it needs more integrations, especially with the growth of platforms like Threads and BlueSky, especially with more people leaving Twitter/X and Facebook Groups are no longer available. Discord integration would also be nice.

Very easy to setup!

Tachwedd 25, 2024
I regret only discovering this plugin now. Where have I been all this time? Thank you for this awesome plugin!

so time-saving

Tachwedd 8, 2024
This awesome plugin keeps my whole page running. I have automated nearly everything with uncanny automator. If a client buys an online course, even my gamification features are based on uncanny automator in combination with MyCred.

What incredibly good support

Hydref 28, 2024 1 reply
Of course, there are an incredible number of plugins on the market, many of which have great and useful features and good support. But all of that would not do justice to Uncanny Automator. Not only is its range of functions so powerful, but its support is also top-notch. We had a special, complicated use case that the developers worked on until it was solved. And that’s exactly what makes the difference! Staying on the ball, helping the customer and thus also setting your own product apart from the rest of the market! If I could, I would give these developers 6 stars.

6.4.0.2 [2025-04-18]

Fixed:

  • automator_api_decode_message vulnerability fix – We patched up a potential trouble spot faster than a squirrel crossing a busy street. All secure now! #5633 CVE-2025-3623
  • Facebook Lead Ads – Icons and text were doing their best disappearing act on the Test Connection button—so we called them back to the stage. #5641

6.4.0.1 [2025-04-11]

Fixed:

  • Bluesky – Create a post – Media embeds were going a little freestyle with formatting. We’ve taught them some manners—now they behave properly. #5613
  • Core – Advanced tokens – That one sneaky use-case slipped through the cracks and made tokens blush (aka turn red). We’ve caught it and fixed it up. #5625
  • User loops (Pro) – Advanced user meta tokens – Loops were getting a bit confused about who’s who. Now they remember whose data they’re supposed to be using. #5563

6.4 [2025-04-01]

New App Integration:

New Triggers:

New Tokens:

  • Trigger details tokens added to all triggers #3012
    • Trigger ID
    • Trigger title
    • Trigger completion date

Fixed:

  • AffiliateWP – Tokens not showing up in some triggers – Turns out the tokens were playing hide and seek. We’ve coaxed them back into visibility. #5500
  • Brevo – Create or update a contact – Action failing when no attributes are provided – The action got confused when handed a blank slate. Now it rolls with the punches, even when attributes ghost it. #5494
  • Core – Action tokens – Inconsistent results when actions fail in multiple recipe runs – Failed actions were spreading chaos like it was contagious. We’ve quarantined the inconsistency. #5342
  • Core – Background Actions – We’ve randomized the Auth() token so it’s not just more secure—it’s mysterious. #5557
  • Core – automator_get_all_options throwing RedisException in a specific situation – Redis had a meltdown over some edge cases. We calmed it down with some sensible exception handling. #5459
  • HelpScout – A conversation’s tags are updated – Conversation URL token not working – This token was lost in the conversation. We gave it directions—it now knows exactly where to go. #5487
  • Recipe UI – Stripe connect modal not working – Stripe modal had stage fright and wouldn’t show up. We’ve boosted its confidence. #5531
  • Stripe – Create payment links – payment_method_types issue – This one was picky about payment methods. We’ve taught it to be more accepting. #5462
  • Stripe – Customer tokens not rendering properly – These tokens were having an identity crisis. Now they’re back to proudly displaying who they are. #5577
  • Thrive Apprentice – A user completes a module in a course – Updated for compatibility – A little compatibility spring cleaning—this trigger now plays nice with the rest of the gang. #5529
  • Thrive Apprentice – A user completes a lesson in a course – Lesson dropdown not populating – That dropdown was feeling shy. We gave it a pep talk—now it shows up with all the lessons. #5392

Under the hood:

  • Delete a log file is not working when there are special characters in the log filename – Special characters were too extra for our delete function. We’ve taught it to handle drama with grace. #5492
  • Resolve ambiguity with class names – We cleaned up a case of mistaken identity among class names. No more doppelgängers. #5560
  • Token parsing – WordPress filter automator_token_parser_whitelisted_tokens added to not parse third-party tokens matching token criteria – We’ve taught our parser to respect boundaries. It can now ignore tokens that don’t belong to us. #5469
