Krom Automation is a visual workflow automation plugin for WordPress. It connects WordPress events, called triggers, to automated responses, called actions, using a drag-and-drop canvas builder. No coding is required.

Think of it as an “if this then that” system built natively for WordPress, with a proper visual workflow builder, execution history, analytics, and AI-powered automation included from the start.

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 prone to error. Krom Automation handles these responses automatically.

You build a workflow once on the visual canvas, and it runs every time the triggering event occurs.

The free plugin includes 16 built-in triggers, 21 built-in actions, AI-powered actions, a workflow simulator, execution logging, analytics, and a library of ready-made templates, all with no cost and no usage limits.

This page tracks version history and notable changes for the free Krom Automation plugin. Updates are delivered automatically through the WordPress dashboard.
