![]() You’re probably sensing a trend in adding more value to users of the free plugin, so here’s a big one: For all of the form integrations we support, we’re moving the former “anonymous” form submission triggers to the free version. To set things up, we do also require an email address to set up a free Uncanny Automator account on our site. What’s the catch? We limit the number of times you can pass data to these integrations to 1,000, which should be plenty to realize the value offered by Uncanny Automator Pro. That’s right, free plugin users can try out Slack, Mailchimp, Google Sheets and more in the 3.1 release, and we’ll be adding more of the API-based integrations to try out soon. This emphasis on ease of use in the free version now also extends to a brand new system to try out our Premium (API-based) integrations. Moreover, users of the free plugin needed more value and a better demonstration of what Automator could do before investing in the Pro version. Why all of these changes, and why in the free release? We realized that Uncanny Automator’s value was pretty limited on sites that didn’t support ecommerce, elearning and/or membership functions. If you’re just sending data to a webhook, you can now skip the process of user selection/creation entirely. Don’t worry, we’ll let you know when we need user data! If you choose an action with the “needs user data” label, we’ll pop up a user selector automatically.Įxisting Pro users, you’ll notice that this is a very different workflow instead of always doing user selection after trigger selection, now it’s done only if an action that requires user data is added to the recipe. We’ve heard from countless users frustrated by that limitation in Automator even working around it by routing data through a fake user, it was confusing.īy default, all “Everyone” recipes are now userless until an action is added that needs user data. But there’s more… Userless recipes are hereĪlong with recipes that “everyone” can run, we’re making a big change that allows some recipes to run without an associated WordPress user. “Anonymous recipes are a Pro feature, and this announcement is about the Free version.” Well, with today’s release, users of the free plugin now get access to some triggers that anyone can run, even signed out users. ![]() That’s why, starting in 3.1, we’re replacing the concept of “anonymous” users with the idea that there are recipes that can run for everyone: logged in users as well as logged out users. But for practical use, we confused people. Would anonymous recipes run for logged in users? If they were anonymous, why did they still have to have an associated user? Behind the scenes for developers it all made sense, and we could keep all of the anonymous code in the Pro add-on. ![]() The concept of “anonymous” recipes was always a confusing one in Uncanny Automator. It’s far more than a release with new integration, it rethinks the types of recipes that can be run, and it completely opens up options for users of the free version. It’s a huge release that has something for everyone, especially users of our free plugin. Trying to explain everything that’s new with Uncanny Automator 3.1 in a short title is impossible.
