Pressable’s Zapier Integration: Automate Your WordPress Hosting

Most hosting tasks are really just reactions to an event. A site gets flagged as compromised, and someone posts in Slack. A deploy finishes, and someone remembers to clear the cache. A deal closes, and someone logs into MyPressable to spin up a new site.

Pressable’s Zapier integration changes that.

It connects your Pressable account to Zapier, so hosting events become triggers and hosting actions become steps in any workflow you already run.

Get notified. Create sites. Clear caches. Log changes. All from the tools you’re already using.

What Is Zapier?

Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects thousands of apps, so an event in one tool can automatically trigger an action in another.

Pressable’s Zapier integration connects your hosting account directly to that ecosystem. Once connected, Pressable’s hosting events can kick off workflows anywhere in your stack, and Zapier can trigger real actions back on your Pressable account.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Get alerted when a site is flagged as hacked
Trigger: Hacked Site Detected → Action: Send Slack message.
→ Your team hears about it right away, not whenever someone checks the dashboard.

Clone a starter site when a deal closes
Trigger: HubSpot deal won → Action: Clone Site.
→ A copy of your starter site is ready for the project, as a staging site unless you choose Live.

Start a go-live checklist when the primary domain is set
Trigger: Primary Domain Set → Action: Create Trello card.
→ The launch checklist starts when the domain switches, so nobody has to remember it.

Send performance reports to clients
Trigger: New Performance Report → Action: Send Gmail email.
→ Reports reach the client when they’re ready, including the monthly report for each live site.

Log PHP version changes
Trigger: PHP Version Changed → Action: Create Airtable record.
→ A running record of PHP version changes, built without anyone updating it by hand.

What You Can Do Today

Pressable’s Zapier integration covers 15 triggers and 14 actions:

• Sites: triggers for a site created or deleted, and actions to find, create, clone, tag, and delete a site.
• Deploys and transfers: triggers for Git deploys that succeed or fail, and for data transfers between two Pressable sites that succeed or fail.
• Security and performance: triggers for a site flagged as hacked, a new performance report, and a failed plugin update.
• Backups and caching: triggers for a finished on-demand backup, a purged edge cache, and a site restore that succeeds or fails, plus actions to take an on-demand backup, clear the object cache, and purge the edge cache.
• Domains and configuration: triggers for a primary domain set and a PHP version change, plus actions to add a domain and set the primary domain.
• Plugins: actions to install and update plugins, up to 50 at a time.
• Users and availability: actions to create a WordPress user and turn maintenance mode on or off.

Triggers come from real hosting events. Actions can sit alongside any app in Zapier’s catalog.

Available in Zapier’s Directory

Find Pressable at zapier.com/apps/pressable/integrations or by searching Zapier’s app directory. In MyPressable, the Zapier page under Account > Integrations shows whether you’re connected and lists seven example Zaps, each naming the trigger, the partner app, and the action.

Setup takes about five minutes. A free Zapier plan covers two-step Zaps with one trigger and one action. Filters and chained actions need a paid Zapier plan.

What to Know Before You Build

• A Git deploy cut off by a timeout or connection error doesn’t send a failure event, so Git Deploy Failed won’t catch every failed deploy.
• Data transfer events cover moves between two Pressable sites. Migrations from another host don’t trigger them.
• A green step means Pressable accepted the request. A backup, cache purge, or plugin update may still be running, and Update Plugins skips platform-managed plugins without an alert.
• Plugin Update Failed reports failures only, so no event doesn’t mean an update succeeded. PHP Version Changed doesn’t include the previous version.
• Primary Domain Set can fire more than once for one change, and DNS and SSL may not be ready yet. New Performance Report fires for every report, including ones you request.
• Create Site asks you to choose Live, Staging, or Sandbox, and only Live is billable. Clone Site defaults to staging. Both make a new site on every run. Delete Site is permanent, so put a check you trust in front of it.

Get Started

Go to Account > Integrations > Zapier in MyPressable, or search for Pressable in Zapier’s app directory, connect your account, and start from one of the example Zaps.
