⭐️ Released v2.5 with WordPress hook mapping (PRO) and persisted query to send email notifications
Gato GraphQL v2.5 has been released, containing the following changes.
Added persisted query to notify users on new post
Predefined persisted query [PRO] Send email to users about post has been added.
This query sends an email to all users, or to a segment of users, notifying of the creation of a new post on the site.
It is integrated with the new automation rule Automatically sending an email to all subscribers notifying of a new post added to Gato GraphQL PRO.

[PRO] Added "WordPress hook mapping" for the Automation extension
There are WordPress hooks which cannot be directly used in the Automation Configurator, because they provide a PHP object via the hook, which can't be input as a GraphQL variable.
Starting from v2.5 of Gato GraphQL PRO, several of these hooks have been mapped, by triggering a new hook prepended with gatographql: and the same hook name, and passing the corresponding object ID as a variable, which can be input as a GraphQL variable.
For instance, WordPress hook draft_to_publish passes the $post as variable (of type WP_Post). Gato GraphQL PRO maps this hook as gatographql:draft_to_publish, and passes the $postId (of type int) as variable.
The following table lists down the mapped WordPress hooks:
| WordPress hook | Mapped hook by Gato GraphQL |
|---|---|
{$old_status}_to_{$new_status} (passing WP_Post $post) | gatographql:{$old_status}_to_{$new_status} (passing int $postId) |
