# 🚨 CRITICAL: Configuration Field Name Issue Found ## ❌ The Root Problem Your plugin configuration is using the **wrong field name**! ### What You're Probably Using (WRONG): ```javascript automationPlugin({ collections: ['orders', 'users', 'products'], // ❌ Wrong field name steps: [...], }) ``` ### What You MUST Use (CORRECT): ```javascript automationPlugin({ collectionTriggers: { // ✅ Correct field name 'orders': true, 'users': true, 'products': true }, steps: [...], }) ``` ## 🔧 Immediate Fix Required **Update your `payload.config.ts` file:** ```typescript import { automationPlugin } from '@xtr-dev/payload-automation' export default buildConfig({ // ... your other config plugins: [ automationPlugin({ collectionTriggers: { // ← CHANGE THIS FIELD NAME orders: true, // Enable all hooks (create, read, update, delete) users: true, products: true }, steps: [ // ... your step configurations ] }) ] }) ``` ## 🎯 Why This Fixes Everything 1. **Hook Registration**: The plugin only registers hooks for collections listed in `collectionTriggers` 2. **No Hooks = No Execution**: If `collectionTriggers` is empty/missing, no hooks get registered 3. **Silent Failure**: The plugin logs "No collection triggers configured" and returns early ## 🔍 Advanced Configuration Options You can also be more specific about which operations trigger workflows: ```javascript automationPlugin({ collectionTriggers: { orders: { update: true, // Only trigger on updates create: true // Only trigger on creates // read and delete are false by default }, users: true // Enable all operations }, // ... }) ``` ## ✅ Expected Results After Fix Once you update your configuration and restart: 1. **Plugin logs will show**: ``` Starting collection hook registration Collection hooks registered successfully - collectionSlug: "orders" ``` 2. **Hook counts will be > 0**: ```javascript payload.collections.orders.config.hooks.afterChange.length // Should return a number > 0 ``` 3. **Workflow execution will work**: - "AUTOMATION PLUGIN: Collection hook triggered" messages - Workflow runs created in database - Jobs processing successfully ## 🆘 If Still Not Working If you fix the configuration and it still doesn't work: 1. **Check your exact collection slugs**: ```javascript console.log('Available collections:', Object.keys(payload.collections)) ``` 2. **Verify case sensitivity**: Collection slugs are case-sensitive - Use exactly what appears in `Object.keys(payload.collections)` 3. **Restart completely**: - Stop dev server - Clear any caches - Restart with new configuration --- **This configuration field name issue explains why no hooks were being registered, despite the plugin loading successfully. The v0.0.16 bug fix was valid, but this configuration issue was preventing hooks from being registered in the first place.**
