Connect WordPress activity to powerful plugin and app automations

WordPress Core

WordPress is a free open-course content management system (CMS) that powers more than 60 million websites. WordPress uses a plugin architecture to extend the features and functionality of a website. Uncanny Automator requires WordPress. WordPress Core triggers let you run custom actions when posts or created or updated, and actions even let you create or update posts automatically.
