Update Post method ​

With the "Update item" method, you can update an existing post item. When selecting a post type, you can choose between:

  • Post — a standard WordPress post with native fields only
  • Post with ACF — a post that includes both standard WordPress fields and ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) fields

Main Parameters ​

  • Post Type: This is a required dropdown field where you can choose between:
    • Post — updates a standard WordPress post with native fields only
    • Post with ACF — when selected, a second dropdown will appear listing all custom post types that have ACF fields configured. Select the desired custom post type from that dropdown.
  • Post Type ID: This is a required function field where you can return the ID of the item you want to update.

Post ​

When you select a standard post type, the standard WordPress post fields will be listed as function fields, where you can specify the new value for each one.

Post Fields ​

Common fields include:

  • Title: The post title
  • Content: The post content
  • Excerpt: A short summary of the post
  • Status: The post status (e.g. publish, draft). Note: Items are automatically saved as private. Use with caution only if you understand the permission implications, as retrieval, editing, and deletion are managed through the admin account and permissions you've configured.

Post with ACF ​

When you select a post type that has ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) configured, both the standard WordPress post fields and the ACF fields will be listed as function fields in a single unified view.

Post Fields ​

The same standard WordPress post fields are available:

  • Title: The post title
  • Content: The post content
  • Excerpt: A short summary of the post
  • Status: The post status (e.g. publish, draft). Note: Items are automatically saved as private. Use with caution only if you understand the permission implications, as retrieval, editing, and deletion are managed through the admin account and permissions you've configured.

All ACF fields configured for this post type will appear below the standard fields as function fields, where you can specify the new value for each one.
