Switch Theme is a Trigger in WordPress Events › Theme Events. Starts your flow when this WordPress hook fires (switch_theme).
Use the General and Design tabs to narrow when it should run. The Payload Fields section lists data WordPress passes to the flow.
Save and activate the flow, then perform the action on your WordPress site to test.
When this trigger fires, JOrchestrator starts the flow and passes the incoming event or request data to the next connected step. Configure filtering, payload shape, and security on the Design tab.
Switch Theme is a trigger in the WordPress Events › Theme Events group. Triggers start a flow. They listen for an external signal — a CMS event, inbound HTTP call, payment notification, or schedule — and pass the incoming data to the first downstream step.
Typical reasons teams add Switch Theme to a flow:
switch.theme — automate follow-up work instead of custom theme functions.php codeThis trigger starts the flow when its signal fires on your linked site or when an inbound request matches its configuration. Downstream steps receive the trigger payload as their input.
Common patterns on the canvas:
The designer shows these tabs for this node:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Info | Plain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps |
| Design | Trigger configuration and payload schema |
These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:
| Property key | Label | Type | Required | Visible when | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
_nodeId | Node ID | node-id | No | — | — |
| Property key | Label | Type | Required | Visible when | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
label | Label | text | No | — | Node label |
value | Value | text | No | — | Enter value |
Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.
_This node does not define standard output payload fields in the designer Info tab._
