The Meta Box Setup trigger is available in the WordPress Post group in the AI Agent Workflows editor. It starts a workflow when WordPress fires the add_meta_boxes hook. The exact timing depends on the event represented by that hook.

When this trigger fires
This trigger maps to WordPress’s add_meta_boxes hook, which relates to meta-box setup rather than a completed post save. Use it only when that timing matches your automation.
Data available to later nodes
For recognized post hooks, the plugin normalizes the event into fields such as source, event, post_id, post_title, post_content, post_content_text, post_excerpt, post_status, post_type, post_name, post_author, post_date, post_modified, and post_parent when the corresponding post data is available. Some hooks add event-specific values, such as old and new status or an update flag. Inspect a captured sample in the editor before relying on a particular field.
Configure the trigger
- Open the workflow in the visual editor and open the node picker.
- Select WordPress, then the Post group, and add Meta Box Setup.
- This catalog entry does not expose the configurable Post Types filter. Review its captured data to confirm it matches your intended use.
- Save the workflow and test the relevant event on a test site or with non-critical content. Inspect the trigger sample before mapping values to later nodes.
