There are currently no solutions in the current list to trigger builds when you change content within WordPress. I built a plugin for Gatsby users (although works with other tools too) that will notify services like Netlify (and others) when content is changed.

Hi @crgeary, thats a great idea and I actually also need this functionality in the project I am working on.

It would be great if you could give some images or a little video of how it works, as I couldn't find any in your Github-Repository or the WordPress Plugin page. Rather than posting it here, maybe add it directly to the plugins Github/WordPress pages.

Also, is it possible to create some sort of Trigger-Button? Let's say you don't want to trigger the rebuild on every post/page update, but rather do it, after you changed a couple of things. I build a little plugin for my use case with Gitlab, where you have an admin area with the trigger button and the Pipeline-Status badge. Does your plugin support badges in general? Would be also a great addition. I'm happy to help, if you consider developing you plugin any further :)

@henrikwirth thanks!

Absolutely, I will get some screenshots taken this week and add them to the README. Thanks for the suggestion.

There is a button that displays in the admin bar that you can use for manual deployments. You can choose which post types should trigger automatic changes, so you could turn them all off if you wanted to, and just do manual deploys. Or some combination of the two.

The plugin should support badges from anywhere. Although I have only tested Netlify badges so far, so would be good to know if it works with Gitlab if you ever try it out!
