notifications not being sent for content created with rest API

Hi @dsawyers,
Thanks for your message.

I think you need to ensure that you’re creating the post using a WP user in WP-CLI, not just assigning an author.

I think it should then work for you.

Let me know how you get on.

I’m not sure I understand. I’m using rest API (not wp-CLI) which requires basic auth using a user account and token, so I’m creating the post as me. I don’t see any other options in REST to send the WP user.

Is there something else specific to REST API that needs to be sent with the post to trigger the notification?

it looks like the rest API doesn’t trigger certain function (like save_post), but I can create an action that triggers on rest_insert. I just haven’t figured out the right action to call the notification.

Hi @dsawyers,
Ok, let me know how you get on.

you don’t have any advice on what BNFW function I can call from a custom script to trigger that notification?

Hi @dsawyers,
The only advice I can give at this stage, because it’s custom code, is to take a look at this support document on the subject:

Let me know if this helps.
