Question 1

How does NoClick detect a new WordPress post?

Accepted Answer

Schedule the List Posts operation to run on an interval and compare against the last run, so newly published posts are detected. The same approach with List Comments catches new comments.

Question 2

Can an email become a WordPress post?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Read Inbox Emails in Outlook returns the message, and you map the subject to the post title and the body to the post content for WordPress's Create Post operation, optionally saving it as a draft.

Question 3

How do I format the announcement email?

Accepted Answer

Use Get Post to read the title, excerpt, and link, then place those into the Outlook email body. The Send Email Message operation renders HTML, so you can include a styled call-to-action.

Question 4

Can the workflow notify a moderator about comments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Schedule List Comments filtered to pending status, then email the moderator through Outlook with the comment author and text so they can approve from the message.

Question 5

What credentials does this pairing need?

Accepted Answer

WordPress connects with application password credentials or OAuth for your site's REST API, and Outlook Mail uses Microsoft OAuth. Both are set up once in NoClick.
