Hi, I have a use case and was hoping you could suggest a possible way to solve it.

When a post expires, I would like to perform some custom actions, but not just updating a field, but invoking a function that I have defined somewhere. I see that as of now, by using the cred_post_expiration_custom_actions hook, I can only update some fields.

Any idea how I can achieve this?

Thanks a lot,

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

What if you try to use the standard WordPress hook: post_updated

The scenario will be when post expiration fired it will change the post status and based on post status you should use the post_updated hook.

Minesh, thank you so much for going the extra mile suggesting something that doesn't concert Toolset. I followed your suggestion and I think that should solve my use case. Instead of the post_updated hook, however, I am using the {old_status}_to_{new_status} hook => https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Status_Transitions
