      Merci Isaura! Are you utilizing REST API in your work? Any usecases come to mind?

      @@BrendanOConnellWP No, I have never used it. But it immediately came to my mind that it could be potentially useful when migrating content from one WP site to another! 🤔

      @@isaurasotoca Definitely! Cross posting blogs, or just migrating content. And you can combine flows in Activepieces - so you can update 2 different custom post types and their fields + automate an email/social post/etc. - all in a single flow

      @@BrendanOConnellWP I haven't used it but one use case was syncing an Airtable base to WordPress. I thought of doing this for a few different use cases and planned to use a plugin (I think it's called "Air WP Sync"). The plugin didn't do all the things I needed so I haven't started.

      @@ReubenHochstetler Nice, someone told me about AirTable Sync recently and we used it to mass populate locations and associated faqs, and it was so fast. It really does sync in an easier to use way than what I demo'd in this video. BUT there's trade offs in granular functions, and additional flows if you use a full feature automation tool vs one dedicated to a single task. Feel free to hit me up with questions if it's helpful

    Nice video dude.. Mic is working well now..
    Just had a quick look while awaiting a train. On the next fetch it will get all posts again. What methodology is used to ensure only new posts are transferred to the target site? Or is that he complex bit for the next video?

      thank you my friend, haha that is only due to me -actually- editing a video for once and increasing volume 200% 🥲. Part 2 of this video I released today for hooking up ACF fields. EDIT: didn't see the rest of your comment - yes that is a problem there - in the video today, i used google sheets and that works very well and is a nice way to organize your import data, but that's slightly different than the first. i need to figure out how to only fetch the most recent post - and have it either fetch weekly (and not add a duplicate) or somehow trigger it when the first site posts. i'll have to dig into it

    Can we fetch data from crm into acf custom post type! just like you did it .. But we have not the google sheet via API ? Is possible

    • @BrendanOConnellWP
      @BrendanOConnellWP  Місяць тому

      For the most part: yes. You can connect many apps, even those not officially listed, to do this same automation from a crm into ACF fields. you can fetch and display data with a number of other plugins, like dynamic shortcodes
