Dynamically edit a Wordpress Post?

[daschaiek]

Hi, I'm trying to set up a workflow where I edit an existing Wordpress post, but I would like the post being edited to be dynamically updated, instead of a static post. More specifically, I'd like to update the most recent post (whatever that may be). Is it possible to do this? And if so, how?

TIA

Hey @daschaiek

Could you please briefly elaborate on your concern once on how you want to update the WordPress post?

Hi and thanks for getting back to me. From what I understand the action taken will always update the same Wordpress post. So if I have a post called "Pabbly is awesome", it will always update JUST that post. But I don't want it to update just one post. I want it to update the last post I published (whatever post that maybe). So if the last post I published was "Article 1" then it updates "Article 1". And then it updates "Article 2", and so on. Of course it only updates once the trigger is set. I hope this makes sense.

Hey @daschaiek

Do you want to update a post when a new post is getting created?

So, I am using a transcribing service called Happy Scribe and every time a transcript is created, I want to add the text from the transcript to an existing draft mode of the newest wordpress post using Pabbly Connect. So Happy Scribe is the trigger and updating the newest draft of the wordpress post is the action.

Hey @daschaiek

You can use the "WordPress: Get Latest Post" action step to search for the latest post in the API response and then you can use it further in the Update Post of WordPress.
