Automation<\/strong> is a visual <strong>workflow automation plugin for WordPress<\/strong> that connects what happens on your site to what should happen next, with <strong>no code required<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Build automations on a clean drag-and-drop canvas. Choose a <strong>trigger<\/strong> (a WordPress event such as a new user, a published post, or a completed order), connect it to one or more <strong>actions<\/strong> (send an email, update a record, call an API, run an AI step), and Krom Automation handles the rest automatically every time that event occurs.<\/p>\n\n<p>Think of it as an <strong>if this then that<\/strong> system built natively for WordPress, with a real visual workflow builder, execution history, analytics, and <strong>AI-powered automation<\/strong> included from the start.<\/p>\n\n<p>WordPress sites generate dozens of events every day. Users register, posts get published, comments come in, orders are placed. Handling all of that manually is repetitive and error-prone. Krom Automation lets you build the response once, and it runs automatically every time the triggering event fires.<\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wprigel.com\/krom-automation\/\">Features<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/wprigel.com\/docs\/krom-automation\/\">Documentation<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/wprigel.com\/krom-automation\/pricing\">Pricing<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h4>What Krom Automation Is Built to Fix<\/h4>\n\n<p>Most automation tools force a tradeoff. Either the builder is genuinely visual but testing and execution visibility stay thin, or the reporting is solid, but every workflow is just a flat list of steps that gets unreadable once real logic is involved. AI is usually treated as a separate upsell instead of a core building block, and runs are often metered behind credits or task limits even on a paid plan.<\/p>\n\n<p>Krom Automation closes those gaps directly. The canvas stays readable as branching, delays, and AI steps are added, not just for a simple two-step flow. Every workflow can be tested with a real dry run simulator before it touches live data, and every run after that produces a full step-by-step trace, not just a pass or fail flag. AI actions are included free from day one, not held back as a paid add-on. Because everything runs on your own WordPress installation, there is no execution metering and no usage credits to manage.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Why Use Krom Automation?<\/h4>\n\n<p>Krom Automation is built for <strong>site owners and administrators<\/strong> who want to automate repetitive tasks without hiring a developer, <strong>bloggers and content creators<\/strong> who need automatic notifications and content workflows, <strong>store owners<\/strong> who need order automation and customer lifecycle sequences, <strong>membership and community site operators<\/strong>, and <strong>developers and agencies<\/strong> who want a programmable automation engine with a full REST API.<\/p>\n\n<p>Everything runs on your own WordPress installation. Your workflow data, execution logs, and any connected credentials stay in your own database. There is no external platform holding your automations, and no per-task billing to worry about.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Krom Automation Free Features at a Glance<\/h4>\n\n<p>A complete <strong>no-code automation builder<\/strong> available to every WordPress site at no cost, with no run limits and no feature paywalls.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Visual Workflow Builder<\/strong> \u2013 Drag-and-drop canvas powered by ReactFlow, with auto-layout for clean, readable flows<\/li>\n<li><strong>16 Built-in Triggers<\/strong> \u2013 Covering User, Post, Comment, Media, and WooCommerce events<\/li>\n<li><strong>21 Built-in Actions<\/strong> \u2013 Email, user management, post management, comment management, HTTP requests, and AI<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Actions Included Free<\/strong> \u2013 Generate text, moderate content, and auto-tag posts using OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Groq<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conditional Branching<\/strong> \u2013 Route workflows with Yes and No logic based on real data<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delay Scheduling<\/strong> \u2013 Postpone any action by minutes, hours, days, or weeks, or set a custom delay in seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Merge Tags<\/strong> \u2013 Inject live data from the triggering event into any action field<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run Once Enforcement<\/strong> \u2013 Prevent duplicate executions for the same user, post, or order<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workflow Simulator<\/strong> \u2013 Dry run any workflow with zero side effects before activating it<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workflow Import and Export<\/strong> \u2013 Share workflows between sites as portable JSON files<\/li>\n<li><strong>Workflow Notes<\/strong> \u2013 An internal notes field on every workflow for documentation and team handoff<\/li>\n<li><strong>Execution Logging<\/strong> \u2013 Full per-step audit trail showing input, output, and errors<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics Dashboard<\/strong> \u2013 Total executions, active workflows, estimated time saved, failed execution count, and an execution trend chart<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reports with CSV Export<\/strong> \u2013 Date-filtered execution charts, success rate, and per-workflow breakdowns<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ready-made Template Library<\/strong> \u2013 Starter workflows across AI automation, user onboarding, post notifications, comment moderation, scheduled digests, and WooCommerce sequences, plus a blank canvas starter<\/li>\n<li><strong>WooCommerce Triggers and Actions Included Free<\/strong> \u2013 Order created and order completed triggers, plus coupon creation and order status actions<\/li>\n<li><strong>Failure Notifications and Automatic Retry<\/strong> \u2013 Email alerts on failed steps, with configurable retry backoff<\/li>\n<li><strong>Full REST API<\/strong> \u2013 Trigger workflows, manage logs, and run simulations programmatically<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>All 16 Free Triggers<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>User:<\/strong> User Registered, User Profile Updated, User Login, User Logout, User Role Changed, User Deleted, Password Reset<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Post:<\/strong> Post Published, Post Updated, Post Deleted, Post Status Changed<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Comment:<\/strong> Comment Submitted, Comment Approved<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Media:<\/strong> Media Uploaded<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>WooCommerce:<\/strong> Order Created, Order Completed<\/p>\n\n<h4>All 21 Free Actions<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Email:<\/strong> Send Email<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>User:<\/strong> Create User, Update User Meta, Change User Role, Send Password Reset<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Post:<\/strong> Create Post, Update Post, Update Post Field, Change Post Status, Add Post Meta, Delete Post<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Comment:<\/strong> Add Comment, Update Comment Status, Add Comment Label, Add Comment Meta<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Integration:<\/strong> HTTP Request, supporting GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE, with JSON response parsing<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>AI:<\/strong> AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, AI Auto-Tag<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>WooCommerce:<\/strong> Create Coupon, Update Order Status<\/p>\n\n<h4>AI Actions<\/h4>\n\n<p>Three AI actions are included in the free plugin.

Automate order confirmations, generate personalized coupons on first purchase, send post-purchase follow-up sequences, and update order statuses automatically.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Analytics and Reporting<\/h4>\n\n<p>The dashboard shows total executions, active workflows, estimated time saved, failed execution counts, and an execution trend chart. The Reports page provides execution charts with date range filtering, success rate, per-workflow breakdowns, and CSV export. Every execution is logged with a step-by-step trace showing status, output, and error messages.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Built for Every Kind of WordPress Site<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>Online stores<\/strong> can automate order confirmations, abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase coupon delivery, and review requests.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Membership and course sites<\/strong> can automate enrollment emails, completion certificates, and access changes the moment a payment or subscription event occurs.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Content sites and blogs<\/strong> can automate post publish notifications, AI generated excerpts, automatic tagging, and comment moderation.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Agencies and developers<\/strong> get a full REST API, exportable workflow JSON for repeatable client deployments, and an extensible hook and filter system for building custom triggers and actions.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External Services<\/h3>\n\n<p>Krom Automation optionally connects to the following third-party AI services when the site administrator configures API credentials and creates workflows that use AI actions. No data is sent to these services unless AI actions are explicitly used in a workflow.<\/p>\n\n<h4>OpenAI<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What it is:<\/strong> AI language model service used by the AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, and AI Auto-Tag actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data sent:<\/strong> The prompt text and any workflow data included in the prompt, as configured by the site administrator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> Only when a workflow containing an AI action is triggered and the OpenAI provider is selected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endpoint:<\/strong> <code>https:\/\/api.openai.com\/v1\/chat\/completions<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong>Terms of Use:<\/strong> https:\/\/openai.com\/policies\/terms-of-use<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/openai.com\/policies\/privacy-policy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Google Gemini<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What it is:<\/strong> AI language model service used by the AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, and AI Auto-Tag actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data sent:<\/strong> The prompt text and any workflow data included in the prompt, as configured by the site administrator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> Only when a workflow containing an AI action is triggered and the Google Gemini provider is selected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endpoint:<\/strong> <code>https:\/\/generativelanguage.googleapis.com\/v1beta\/openai\/chat\/completions<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong>Terms of Use:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Groq<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What it is:<\/strong> AI inference service used by the AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, and AI Auto-Tag actions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data sent:<\/strong> The prompt text and any workflow data included in the prompt, as configured by the site administrator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> Only when a workflow containing an AI action is triggered and the Groq provider is selected.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endpoint:<\/strong> <code>https:\/\/api.groq.com\/openai\/v1\/chat\/completions<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong>Terms of Use:<\/strong> https:\/\/groq.com\/terms-of-use\/<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy Policy:<\/strong> https:\/\/groq.com\/privacy-policy\/<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Administrator-configured HTTP Requests<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What it is:<\/strong> HTTP requests made by the HTTP Request action to URLs entered by the site administrator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data sent:<\/strong> The request URL, method, headers, body, and any workflow data included by the site administrator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When:<\/strong> Only when a workflow containing an HTTP Request action is triggered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Endpoint:<\/strong> The endpoint is configured by the site administrator for each action.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Terms of Use and Privacy Policy:<\/strong> These depend on the third-party endpoint configured by the site administrator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Privacy Policy<\/h3>\n\n<p>Krom Automation stores workflow configuration, execution logs, workflow notes, analytics, variables, and approval records in the WordPress database.
