Front end submission solution

I use Toolset Forms to publish custom post type posts from the front end. A notification that should fire when these posts are published did not fire. I tried the solution described on https://betternotificationsforwp.com/documentation/compatibility/support-plugins-front-end-forms/
add_filter( 'bnfw_trigger_insert_post', '__return_true' ); but this did not solve the problem. Then I got the idea to submit the posts as draft and then use an api-call from the Toolset Cred form to change the post status from draft to publish. This worked! I publish the code I used here for anyone who runs into the same issue.

// use cred api call to change post status

add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'my_success_action',10,2);
function my_success_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form (change the $form_data['id'] value to the one of your form)
    if ($form_data['id']==5627)
    {
        // user can overwrite everything here, eg redirection, messages displayed etc..
        $cur_post = array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_status' => 'publish' );
	wp_update_post($cur_post);
    }
}
