Action Run

Elementor Pro Advanced

The actual method that executes the action when a form is submitted. This is the main method the action triggers. It can use optional data from custom controls, but that is not required.

Run Method

The method that triggers the action is called run(). The method is executed only when the form is submitted. In your action class, use the method as follows:

class Elementor_Test_Action extends \ElementorPro\Modules\Forms\Classes\Action_Base {

	public function run( $record, $ajax_handler ): void {

		// ...

	}

}

• Run Action - The run() method triggers the actual action when a form is submitted. The $record parameter is a form record instance and the $ajax_handler is an instance of the form ajax handler.

Execute Action

Developers can execute any code on form submission, the possibilities are endless. Let's see some examples.

Send an Email

In the example below, we'll send an email each time a form is submitted:

class Elementor_Test_Action extends \ElementorPro\Modules\Forms\Classes\Action_Base {

	public function run( $record, $ajax_handler ): void {

		wp_mail( /* ... */ );

	}

}

Send HTTP Request

In the following example we'll send an HTTP request every time a form is submitted:

class Elementor_Test_Action extends \ElementorPro\Modules\Forms\Classes\Action_Base {

	public function run( $record, $ajax_handler ): void {

		wp_remote_post( /* ... */ )

	}

}

Create WordPress Post/Page/CPT

Another use case is to create WordPress CPTs after every form submission:

class Elementor_Test_Action extends \ElementorPro\Modules\Forms\Classes\Action_Base {

	public function run( $record, $ajax_handler ): void {

		wp_insert_post( /* ... */ );

	}

}
