Uncanny Recipe Builder
Workflows that keep working after the chat ends
Tell your AI “update the WooCommerce sales report in Google Sheets every Monday,” or build it yourself in the visual builder. Uncanny Recipe Builder turns it into an automation that runs the same way, every time.
Uncanny Recipe Builder is the automation engine inside Uncanny Automator, an MCP server for WordPress.

Workflow automations
Set it once. It runs every time.
A recipe is a workflow you build once: something happens, Uncanny Automator does the rest. 1,800+ triggers and actions across 240+ integrations, so it works with the plugins and apps you already run.
Triggers
Where the recipe starts. A form submitted, an order paid, a lesson finished, a member cancelling, a webhook received, or simply “every Monday at 8am.” 1,000+ ways to start, from WordPress itself and the plugins you run.
Actions
What happens next. Add the contact to Mailchimp, enroll them in the course, post to Slack, log the row in Google Sheets, send the invoice in Stripe. 850+ actions across your plugins and apps, as many per recipe as you need.
Outcomes
The result you’d get doing it by hand, without doing it by hand. Filters, conditions and queues shape it: only if there’s no refund, three days later, once for each learner. Every run is recorded, so you can see exactly what happened and when.
Free plan
Contact form to newsletter
Trigger: someone submits the contact form
Action: add them to the Newsletter list in Mailchimp

The visual builder
Build it yourself, no code required.
Meet the engine behind your automations. Build and edit recipes yourself using the visual builder.
Pick, set, switch on
Choose a trigger, add your actions, fill in the blanks and switch it on. No code, and no step you can’t see.
Make it conditional
Conditions, queues, schedules and loops turn a simple recipe into the way your business works. A Pro feature.
Any detail, one click
All of the data from the recipe and your site, from the customer’s name to the order total, is ready to drop into any step. No copying between tools.
See every run
What fired, what it did, what it returned. Audit the work, optimize the performance.

Built with AI
Turn words into workflows
Rather not build it yourself? Describe the workflow you want, or even just the outcome, and AI assembles it for you.
1
Describe it
In ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any connected AI app, in plain English.
2
Check the draft
It lands in the visual builder. Change anything you like.
3
Switch it on
From then on it runs on its own, no prompt needed.
What your AI can do with recipes
Your AI drafts it
Describe the workflow and the recipe lands in the builder as a draft: trigger, actions, the details filled in. Open it, check it, switch it on.
Read, edit and explain
“Why did the welcome recipe skip Maria?” “Add a three-day queue before the review request.” Your AI works on the recipes you already have, too.
Put AI inside a recipe
An AI step drafts the email, summarizes the report or sorts the ticket, with your own API key for OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and others. A Pro feature.
No AI subscription? Uncanny Agent is built in.

The action library
Anything your AI can do once, a recipe can do every time
The actions inside recipes are the same actions your AI runs on request: 440+ actions across 138+ plugins and apps, 850+ across 240+ with a paid plan.
Inside WordPress
WooCommerce, LearnDash, MemberPress, BuddyBoss, Gravity Forms and a hundred more, built and maintained by our team.
Beyond WordPress
Slack, Google Sheets, Mailchimp and more connect through the Automator App Platform, with one-click setup.
No per-task fees
Plugin-to-plugin recipes and outgoing webhooks are unlimited, even on the free plan. Paid plans add unlimited actions in external apps.
Addons
Do more with fewer plugins
Profile fields, content restriction, user segments, dynamic content and enterprise integrations usually mean five more plugins and a subscription or two. With Automator they’re addons, included with Plus and Elite plans, and they plug straight into your recipes.
Custom User Fields Addon
Add the profile fields your site needs, like birthdays, phone numbers, company or social handles, in a few clicks. Show them on the site with a shortcode and use them anywhere in your automations.
Restrict Content Addon
Restrict access to your most valuable content based on login status, access level, role or even custom user data, no membership plugin required. Protect pages, posts, products, courses or individual blocks, and use Automator recipes to move users between access levels automatically.
User Lists Addon
Segment your users into unlimited lists so you can run targeted communications and bulk actions with ease. Build lists based on purchases, memberships, courses and more, then trigger personalized email, SMS and WhatsApp campaigns or run bulk operations on exactly the right users.
Dynamic Content Addon
Turn static pages into living, personalized experiences that update themselves. Create dynamic content areas that respond to user behavior, AI outputs, webhooks, RSS feeds and hundreds of Automator triggers, perfect for real-time notifications, activity feeds, personalized offers and more.
Elite Integrations Addon
Connect your WordPress site to complex, enterprise-grade apps like Salesforce and QuickBooks Online with a few clicks. Unlock premium integrations and advanced actions so your Automator recipes can sync data, trigger workflows and keep your key business systems perfectly in step.
Recipes on every plan
Free to build. More with a paid plan.
Recipes between your plugins are unlimited on every plan. Pro plans add schedules, queues, conditions, loops and the complete action library.
