Post Subscription Created Trigger

The Post Subscription Created trigger fires when someone subscribes to receive updates for a specific post or page.

When It Fires

  • Visitor fills out the post subscription form on a post/page
  • User subscribes to updates via the shortcode form

Note: This is different from newsletter subscription. This is content-specific – users subscribe to updates about a particular post.
