Krom Automation is a visual workflow automation plugin for WordPress. It lets you connect WordPress events (triggers) to automated responses (actions) using a drag-and-drop canvas builder.
Think of it as “If This Then That” for your WordPress site — but with a proper visual workflow builder, execution history, analytics, and AI-powered automation built in.
WordPress sites generate dozens of events every day: users register, posts get published, comments get submitted, orders are placed. Responding to these events manually is repetitive and error-prone. Krom Automation automates these responses. You build a workflow once, and it runs automatically every time the triggering event fires.
User: User Registered, User Profile Updated, User Login, User Logout, User Role Changed, User Deleted, Password Reset
Post: Post Published, Post Updated, Post Deleted, Post Status Changed
Comment: Comment Submitted, Comment Approved
Media: Media Uploaded
WooCommerce: WooCommerce Order Created, WooCommerce Order Completed
Email: Send Email
User: Create User, Update User Meta, Change User Role, Send Password Reset
Post: Create Post, Update Post, Update Post Field, Change Post Status, Add Post Meta, Delete Post
Comment: Add Comment, Update Comment Status, Add Comment Label, Add Comment Meta
Integration: HTTP Request (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE — with JSON response parsing)
AI: AI Generate Text, AI Content Moderation, AI Auto-Tag
WooCommerce: Create WooCommerce Coupon, Update Order Status
Three AI actions are included in the free plugin. They require an API key from at least one supported provider:
Use AI Generate Text to write personalized emails, summarize post content, or draft social copy. Use AI Content Moderation to automatically filter spam and toxic comments. Use AI Auto-Tag to apply relevant tags and categories to new posts.
Ready-made templates are included across six categories: AI automation, User onboarding, Post notifications, Comment moderation, scheduled digests, and WooCommerce sequences — plus a blank canvas starter. WooCommerce templates appear in the library when WooCommerce is installed and active. The scheduled digest templates require Krom Automation Pro (a Pro trigger or integration) and are hidden from the library until Pro is active.
WooCommerce triggers and actions are bundled in the free plugin at no extra cost. Automate order confirmations, generate personalized coupons on first purchase, send post-purchase follow-up sequences, and update order statuses automatically — all without any third-party service.
The dashboard shows total executions, active workflows, estimated time saved, failed execution counts, and an execution trend chart. The Reports page provides execution charts with date range filtering, success rate, per-workflow breakdowns, and CSV export. Every execution is logged with a step-by-step trace showing status, output, and error messages.
Krom Automation optionally connects to the following third-party AI services when the site administrator configures API credentials and creates workflows that use AI actions. No data is sent to these services unless AI actions are explicitly used in a workflow.
https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completionshttps://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/chat/completionshttps://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completionsKrom Automation stores workflow configuration, execution logs, workflow notes, analytics, variables, and approval records in the WordPress database. Depending on the workflows created by the site administrator, this data may include user IDs, email addresses, post IDs, comment IDs, WooCommerce order IDs, action inputs, action outputs, status messages, and error messages.
Krom Automation can send email through the WordPress mail system, make HTTP requests to administrator-configured URLs, and run AI actions through third-party providers. AI actions send the configured prompt and workflow data selected by the administrator to the chosen provider, such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Groq. Those services may process data according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Krom Automation does not send data to these third-party AI providers unless the site administrator configures API credentials and creates workflows that use AI actions. Site administrators are responsible for reviewing workflow content and third-party service policies before enabling those actions.
