hmm if the categories exist you can put a GET request earlier in the steps and get the category ID and maybe match it that way? ACF I think you have to use the ID; metabox, you can use the meta name i believe? you can set the query para for a category but I think when you POST to WP, you need to pass the category ID or name in the body json

for the WooCommerce part? check the n8n docs, they have a check list of exactly what you need. If its a new site, you need to change permalinks to not plain, otherwise I think everything else was from scratch in this video. heres docs docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/woocommerce/#using-api-key

Hey Tobi, thanks for watching. Yes you're probably right that i was fust going too fast for the model to see the update. Cheers

there probably is. the nodepackage page for the chat widget has some styling options, i forgot to show that.

Intersting. It seemed for me the ai agent was also reading the image (depending on the model used) - which means if the image is sufficient, and has a category, maybe no descriptive text is necessary? i'd recommend adding something though, like tags as you mentioned.

@@BrendanOConnellWP yes probably image file name, it reads all fields from the woocommerce API that you get from the product endpoint....

Thanks! n8n feels like super powers.

that is really the word for it. i wake up every morning excited about what I'll learn! Love sharing this stuff.

Glad it was helpful!

I haven't used Circle's api before but a quick look shows it's a simple RESTful API, like wordpress. So, to do this type of automation with a dedicated node, you can use an HTTP Node, load in the correct URL end points, and test it out. You likely need to pass in the API auth key in the header when making the request, like I showed with the Authorization Base [key]. api-headless.circle.so/?urls.primaryName=Admin%20API%20V2

@BrendanOConnellWP I'm trying to provide scenarios for you to add to your series of tutorials. As I think k of them I'll share

@BrendanOConnellWP also trying to up your engagement on this video for you

Thanks Rob, appreciate that

Yep that's on the list and I have some past videos on this I believe. RESTful APIs are ubiquitous among external API libraries, so same logic applies. often you have to pass in APIkeys with each request in the header, much like I did with the Basic Auth credentials

Correct. By default the rest api is on unless its turned off

@@BrendanOConnellWP i had no idea all that was exposed or shown until you showed that. Caught me off guard to be honest

Thanks Rob, glad to hear. i appreciate it.

it's about connecting web apps together also. How do we use WP data in other apps, or how do we add to WP FROM other apps.

not sure whether to be insulted or chuffed

Gotta ask, tech is getting pretty good 😅

thanks. yes, it's in the works. anything you want to learn specifically?

Go in order of what we would need to know to move forward. This first intro was great. There's a ton I didn't know just here, and I'm looking for a A to Z walkthrough of all the parts, while seeing it put into action. Just the way you did was a great start.

I second this! Would be AWESOME!

Thanks for the helpful tutorial. As @RobCooper suggested, we are looking for an A to Z walkthrough that includes practical, real-world examples to enhance understanding. Keep up the good work 👌🏾!

That's an awesome testimonial to Bricks! The deep dynamic data integrations in Bricks truly make it a first class builder. Thanks for watching, look forward to your videos!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Same to you onward and upward for 2025

It can in some aspects. It really comes down to how you want to build it. Now more than ever you can componentize things, but its fairly limited. Also I'd recommend Advanced Themer's "Export ID Styles a class" so you can also just ID style and then move styles to a class when you find yourself designing the same things over and over

Appreciate it thanks!

good question, i don't have a crystal ball haha. but I don't see automation being replaced - there is still going to be a need for humans to create these systems moving forward. Understanding flows (and architecting them) is a good skill to have moving into the next phase imo!

hmm that sounded very negative, giving up is certainly not the way. But damn it's just hard to see the forest for the trees.

i think youre touching on some important points and it can feel demoralizing at times! That is partly why I made this video and will continue to make more - come on the journey with me, i'm learning this stuff in real time and make videos to help cement my own knowledge and fill gaps. there's never been a better time to be a 'learner' with how accessible many of these technologies are especially since you dont need to necessarily learn an entirely new language but build and expand and use low code solutions to fill gaps. keep your head up keep grinding, and you will feel better i think. you seem to have the desire to improve and that's more than a lot of people! shoot me over any questions happy to chat about these topics any time and help people gain some more confidence in their own abilities, its the whole point of this channel of mine!

Cheers thanks DK. Hoping to make more of this stuff in 2025. happy end of year to you and yours

Thanks my friend. Appreciate you. I will try and post more in 2025, its tough with how much work i do but i enjoy it and viewers seem to enjoy and get real value.

Agreed!

its in the works. feel free to drop any particular WP related automations you're interested in and I'll add to the list of ideas for content

Look at what he mentioned, ActivePieces. ActivePieces and Supabase both have a free tier, and they both are VERY generous!

Firecrawl?

firecrawl is really exciting and i suspect will we will see other types of these low code tools for this. You can scrape with automation and no direct access, but actual scraping tools are dedicated to these activities. the beauty of understanding APIs is that many of these tools can be directly integrated into automation flows without additional subscriptions sometimes.

yeah! supabase having a free tier means you can experiment with RAG, vector store, and have a postgres DB on top of it all to organize your tables. plenty of ways to get started with these topics without spending a single penny. just need some time to learn it a bit and itll start to click

​@@BrendanOConnellWPwhat tools you think are the best?

n8n (and activepieces, which is truly open source - n8n has a 'Sustainable Use License') can be self hosted on a cheap vps, so your only on going costs are that VPS and your time to manage it - however involved you want to be. What I'm doing is running it on Coolify, which can also be self hosted or cloud, and it connects the postgres db for me, handles updates, etc - but otherwise its fairly easy to get started self hosting. n8n also offer a 'ai agent starter kit' on git that can be run locally, or configured to run on a vps, and that has all self-hosted open/fair use tools, qdrant for vector store, postgres db, ollama for LLM, and n8n to connect them all. the set up for these types of deploys is getting less and less overhead. coolify is a nice self hosting tool for various tools, apis, cms, without much overhead - might be worth checking out but your usecases might be different.

Thanks Tav! Will be looking at this in the start of 2025 more and hoping to release some. Anything youre looking to automate in particular? let me know what sort of stuff you're looking to automate and well see if we can get some real life usecases from viewers!

@@BrendanOConnellWP Ya, a lot of us are way way behind where you are at and really need some spoon fed videos. Wish it wasn't so but this is most likely the case for many of us researching videos like this. I think most of us are looking for Step 1 (do this) Step 2 (do this) videos that really do not seem to exist. Its like trying to learn about a car engine and all you can find is overviews of how the engine works. Nice but you will never truly learn how to work on an engine by simply learning that you put gas in here..and oil in here videos.

+1 from here too. Really would like to learn how to use RAGs instead of Window Buffer Memory.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll make some getting started videos, moving up to more complex stuff like RAG and vector stores

its in the pipeline. I am finding it very useful and think others will too. There are also loads of existing youtube tutorials on using n8n so you can also start there (theyre probably gonna be better than mine!). let me know what sort of stuff you're looking to automate and well see if we can get some real life usecases from viewers!

Great suggestion! Definitely on my list. LMK what youd like to see exactly and I'll try and get something together. I do have some auto sync Woocommerce pricing from a spreadsheet/airtable/etc which is pretty cool. and what about posts? like an auto-blog? its also easy to insert AI into the flow to generate stuff as needed

Thanks Brendan. I used the videos you created on task magic to create posts for a CPT on project I was working on which was cool. I don't know if your automation videos will look at a number of automating technologies or will focus on a couple. I have an interest in automating ecommerce. For example setting up automations with say print on demand and surecart, looking at triggers and actions such as Trigger: New Order in SureCart Action: Create Order in Printful Trigger: Order Status Updated in Printful Action: Update Order Status in SureCart Trigger: Inventory Level Changes in Printful Action: Update Product Inventory in SureCart Trigger: New Product Created in Print full Action: Create Product in SureCart Trigger: Product Details Updated in Printful Action: Update Product in SureCart Trigger: Order Cancelled in SureCart Action: Cancel Order in Printful Trigger: Customer Information Updated in SureCart Action: Update Order Details in Printful Trigger: Order Error Occurs in Printful Action: Notify Admin in SureCart That type of ecommerce stuff. 👍

@@BrendanOConnellWP Not only the creation / manipulation of posts (data) of a Wordpress.. but how about automation starting with the very CREATION of a wordpress install. Presently I do alot with WP-CLI which is wayyyy faster than WP admin screens. But automating WP-CLI for creating and setting up different flavors of Wordpress installs (as a dev for dev stuff) on my own server would be golden! Why would I need Insta WP then?

Thanks for the idea! I hooked up a Woo site when i was testing stuff and it was able to return good data. like "What sweatshirts are on sale", and it sent name, price, sku, sale dates, etc. or "what are your cheapest products" and it returns a list of lowest priced products.

@BrendanOConnellWP does it also return stock of a specific product if you pass in product name or sku? E.g. is product my-shirt available or is product 143858 available?

yes that would work!

@@BrendanOConnellWP nice, thanks for that, i ll try it out as well

cheers 👍

I havent used those, but have heard good stuff about zero work. same principles apply in almost any automation environment. Some stuff is different, they might call things different, or you might need extra steps in some tools to accomplish the same, but all good ways to get in and start seeing whats possible for yourself and your clients. LMK if you have specific questions. Thanks

Thx!

Thanks my friend. Cwicly has (had) a lot of good stuff like that. I trust Bricks team to be thinking of these additions now we have the foundation.

Gutenbricks is a great way to think about components, and gives us a blueprint for what I'd like to see Bricks add. Style variations and Visibility toggles seem like a good next step. Thanks for watching Ros

Yeah I imagine now that the foundations are in place, we can see quicker iterations and improvements. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Dave, looking forward to see what you're cooking with components!

yes, most of these plugins will need to ensure compatibility with 1.12. I am sure Maxime and other creators will adapt their code to work with 1.12.

There seems to be a bit of a change of plan aspect to this Bricks beta where a lot of the new loop features and components were slated a while back for version 2 of Bricks.

@@BrendanOConnellWP "will adapt" boy you know maxime the machine, next "in the next release" post it's already done :D

@@schatten105 yep! he's always 20 steps ahead of us!

Yes, I hope so - its pretty limited right now!

That's awesome to hear! Glad it's changed your workflow. Love to see what you're creating and empowering clients. Cheers

i'd need some more info - what are the steps in the flow, what are you trying to accomplish exactly? there is some tweaking needed you can do with query parameters like per_page=30 (instead of default 10) or page=1+1 in order to get pagination working. if you need pagination, you can try using a storage node to get/put the value and that can increment each run. might make a video on this soon

I have an endpoint with Doctors, from where I get the data. I did what you do in your previous video, every 1 min I send a request and I receive all the bodies, which are 43, then I make a Custom API Call and enter the data from the first body, but it only loads the first one many times until I stop the flow@@BrendanOConnellWP

put the WP POST request in a Loop, and pass the Body from the previous step here. then it will iterate over each item in the loop instead of repeating the same item over and over. send me an email if you get stuck and i'll try and help

right click on all the various inputs in bricks builder to bring up the ACSS Variable selection. Great for space, radius, and color variables among others! you can also right click in the class bar at the top to quickly see what utility classes you can add. also right click on the Grid columns to add grid vars. right click ACSS is the way to go!

​@@BrendanOConnellWP Great, thank you!!
