WordPress Integration

Prerequisites

• WordPress 5.0+
• PHP 7.4+
• A Cacuda account with an API key (generate one at /account)

Install the Plugin

1. Download cacuda-automod.zip from the Cacuda dashboard
2. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
3. Upload the zip file and click Install Now
4. Click Activate

Configure Settings

Go to Settings > Cacuda Automod in your WordPress admin and enter:

• API Key — your Cacuda API key
• Webhook URL — found on your automod's detail page
• Webhook Secret — used to sign payloads for verification

How It Works

The plugin hooks into wp_insert_post and wp_insert_comment actions. When new content is created:

1. WordPress fires the hook with the new content
2. The plugin constructs a JSON payload with the content, author, and metadata
3. It signs the payload body with HMAC-SHA256 using your webhook secret
4. The signed payload is sent to your Cacuda webhook URL

Create a WordPress Automod

1. Go to /automod and create a new automod
2. Add a WordPress trigger node from the palette
3. Select which events to listen for: post_created, comment_created
4. Add a spam detection processor node and connect it to the trigger
5. Add approve/reject action nodes connected to the pass/fail outputs

Test with a Draft

Create a new post in WordPress as a draft. The plugin will send it to your automod pipeline for analysis. Check the execution log at your automod's Executions tab to verify the pipeline ran correctly.

Callback Actions

When your pipeline completes and reaches an action node, Cacuda calls back to WordPress with the result:

• Approve — the post is published or the comment is approved
• Reject — the post is moved to trash or the comment is marked as spam

The plugin's callback endpoint verifies the HMAC signature before processing any actions, ensuring only authenticated responses are applied.
