Zakode Store Automation for WooCommerce

Every day, things happen in your store that deserve a reaction: a big order comes in, a payment fails, a coupon gets used, a customer places their fifth order. Right now, either nothing happens automatically, or you're paying a subscription, or you hired someone to write custom code for it. Zakode Store Automation replaces all of that with rules you build yourself, in wp-admin, for free. What store owners actually use this for

• Don't miss high-value orders. WHEN an order is paid, IF the total is over $500, THEN notify your team by email or Slack/webhook so it gets handled with priority.
• Recover failed payments. WHEN a payment fails, THEN automatically email the customer instead of quietly losing the sale.
• Reward your best customers. WHEN an order is paid, IF it's their 5th+ order, THEN send a personal thank-you — not another generic WooCommerce email.
• Route orders to the right people. WHEN an order comes in, IF it contains a specific product or ships to a specific country, THEN notify your warehouse or fulfilment partner directly.
• Turn guests into accounts. WHEN an order is created, IF checkout was as a guest, THEN follow up with an invite to create an account.
• Keep an audit trail. Every matching order automatically gets a note added, so your team sees the context without digging through email.
• Connect to anything. The webhook action posts order and customer data to Zapier, Make, Slack, n8n, or any URL you run yourself — no per-task pricing, no separate account required.

No developer, no monthly SaaS bill, no leaving wp-admin. How it works Every workflow follows the same simple logic:

1. WHEN something happens in your store (a trigger — 8 available, covering orders and customers),
2. IF it matches your conditions (16 available — order total, country, coupon used, customer history, and more; combine with AND/OR),
3. THEN it runs one or more actions (email the customer, email your team or any custom address, add an order note, change the order status, or call a webhook). Build it visually in a few clicks. No PHP, no hooks, no editing theme files.

Why not just use Zapier or a paid automation plugin? You still can — the webhook action connects to Zapier, Make, or n8n directly. But for the automations that live entirely inside WooCommerce (emails, order notes, status changes, internal alerts), Zakode Store Automation does it natively, for free, without a subscription or a per-task limit. Workflows run asynchronously through Action Scheduler (the same reliable queue WooCommerce itself uses), so they never slow down checkout, with automatic retries if an action temporarily fails. Supported languages:

• English (en_US)
• Polish (pl_PL) Support: kontakt@zakode.pl

1. Upload the zakode-store-automation folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate Zakode Store Automation in Plugins.
3. Ensure WooCommerce is active.
4. Go to Zakode Store Automation -> Workflows and click Add New to build your first automation.

On activation, Zakode Store Automation creates:

• {prefix}zakode_sa_workflows
• {prefix}zakode_sa_logs

1.3.1

• Fix: compatibility with the classic checkout on some WooCommerce versions.

1.3.0

• New: workflows can now run "Immediately" or "After a delay" (minutes/hours/days) instead of only firing instantly.

1.2.2

• Fix: the previous SVN release was missing two files (class-action-send-webhook.php, class-action-send-custom-email.php) required by the Send Webhook and Send Email to Custom Address actions, causing a fatal error on sites running that release. This release includes the complete, correct codebase.

1.2.1

• Fix: scheduled workflow runs and retries are now actually cancelled on deactivation/uninstall — a stale Action Scheduler API call meant they were previously left in the queue.
• Fix: "Send Email to Custom Address" with multiple comma-separated recipients no longer shows a mangled recipient in Logs (log storage was using a single-address sanitizer); successful sends are now also logged, matching the other email actions.

1.2.0

• New: "Send Webhook" action — POSTs a JSON payload (order/customer details, or your own custom template) to any URL. Connects workflows to Zapier, Make, Slack, n8n, or your own endpoint.
• New: "Send Email to Custom Address" action — notify any address (warehouse, fulfilment partner, sales team), not just the admin or the customer.

1.1.2

• Fix: the opt-in telemetry endpoint now ships with a working default (Zakode's own collector) instead of an empty placeholder, so choosing "Allow" actually sends data — no site configuration needed. Nothing changes for sites that keep telemetry off.
• Internal: telemetry events now include a "product" identifier field, so the collector can distinguish between different Zakode plugins.

1.1.0

• New: opt-in, anonymous usage telemetry to help improve the plugin (off by default). See "Usage Data (opt-in)" under Privacy for exactly what is and isn't collected.
• New: consent notice with explicit Allow/No thanks choice, plus a toggle in Settings to change your choice at any time.
• New: optional separate opt-in to share your admin email for update/support notices.

1.0.1

• UI: secondary buttons (.button, .button-secondary, .button-action, .button-compact) now use standard WordPress styling instead of orange fill.
• UI: only .button-primary and submit inputs use the orange accent colour.
• UI: secondary button focus state shows an orange outline to match the theme accent.

1.0.0

• Initial public release.
• Visual WHEN -> IF -> THEN workflow builder.
• WooCommerce triggers, conditions, and actions.
• Async processing through Action Scheduler.
• Workflow logs and settings.
• English and Polish translations.
