AI Workflow Automation for WordPress

A React-based WordPress plugin built by Shahbaz Elahi to demonstrate modern WordPress plugin development, AI workflow automation, REST API architecture, and a clean React-powered admin dashboard.

What This Plugin Does

This plugin lets WordPress admins create simple AI-powered automation workflows.

Example workflows:

  • New blog post published → generate AI summary → save to post meta
  • New WooCommerce order → send admin notification
  • New user registered → generate internal AI note
  • Manual trigger → generate lead summary
  • Workflow event → send webhook to external automation tools

Features

  • React-based WordPress admin dashboard
  • AI workflow builder
  • WordPress REST API routes
  • AI assistant preview panel
  • OpenAI-compatible API settings
  • Activity logs
  • Manual workflow runner
  • WordPress post-published trigger
  • WordPress user-registration trigger
  • WooCommerce new-order trigger
  • Webhook action support
  • Secure nonce and capability checks
  • Sanitized input and escaped output
  • Portfolio-ready repository structure

Installation

  1. Download the ZIP file.
  2. In WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
  3. Upload the ZIP.
  4. Activate the plugin.
  5. Open AI Workflows from the WordPress admin menu.

AI API Setup

Go to AI Workflows > Settings and add:

  • API key
  • Model name
  • OpenAI-compatible endpoint

Default endpoint:

https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions

The plugin also includes a demo AI preview mode that works without an API key.

Development

npm install

Run development build:

npm run start

Run production build:

This repository includes a ready-to-run assets/js/admin.js file, so the plugin can be installed immediately without building.
