Description
The Advanced Custom Fields addon connects ACF custom fields to AutomatorWP, triggering automations whenever a user updates a post, page, or profile field with a specific value. The extension also adds actions that save or modify the content of these fields as part of automated flows, allowing synchronization of data between forms, donations, registrations, and any routine configured in AutomatorWP’s trigger library.
Main Features
- Post field update trigger: triggers automations when the user changes an ACF field in a post with a specific value.
- User and page field triggers: fires flows from changes in ACF fields linked to user profiles or specific pages.
- Post field update action: saves values in ACF fields of any post as part of the automation.
- Actions for user and page fields: updates data in ACF fields tied to user profiles or specific pages during the flow.
- Compatibility with the AutomatorWP ecosystem: combines with other triggers and actions to chain ACF to forms, donations, registrations, and CRMs.
Advanced Custom Fields Benefits
- Centralizes data editing: eliminates manual adjustments in ACF fields by automating saves from site events.
- Connects forms to profiles: sends visitor responses and actions directly to structured post or user metadata.
- Keeps content updated: synchronizes information in real time as interactions occur in WordPress.
- Reduces custom code: removes need for snippets or custom hooks to feed ACF fields from other tools.
Who Is It For?
- Developers and agencies structuring sites with ACF custom fields who need to feed them automatically.
- Marketing teams collecting data via forms, donations, or registrations wanting to record it in ACF fields.
- Site administrators with dynamic content flows relying on always-updated metadata.
Recommended for those already using AutomatorWP and ACF together and looking to automate reading and writing custom fields without custom development.

How to install
Automatic updates: this item is updated by the Ultrapack Auto Updater. With it installed, the new version shows up in your dashboard like any other WordPress update (how to set it up).
This item is an add-on for the AutomatorWP plugin. Installed on its own it throws no error, but it does not work either.
- Install and activate the AutomatorWP plugin before this one.
- Download the file
automatorwp-advanced-custom-fields.zip. - In the WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
- Select the file
automatorwp-advanced-custom-fields.zip, click Install Now and then Activate.
- Both stay active at the same time. Deactivating the AutomatorWP plugin turns this add-on off with it.
- An add-on settings usually show up inside the main plugin screens, not in a menu of their own. If you find nothing new in the dashboard after activating, look there before opening a ticket.
