New Post Automation

The New Post Automation tool manually triggers new-post automation rules for a specific WordPress post. It is helpful for testing a rule or retrying a notification that did not run when the post was published.

Open the New Post Automation tool

  1. In the left WordPress admin menu, click Noptin, then open Dashboard.
  2. Click Tools in Noptin’s top navigation.
The Tools link in the top navigation of the Noptin dashboard
  1. Find New Post Automation and click Choose post.

  1. Enter the post ID, then click Trigger automation.

You can find a post ID in the browser address while editing the post. For example, in post.php?post=123&action=edit, the post ID is 123.

Important

Running this tool clears Noptin’s sent-notification marker for the selected post before triggering matching automations. If the notification was already delivered, subscribers may receive it again.
