Your question should be specific to WordPress. Generic PHP/JS/SQL/HTML/CSS questions might be better asked at Stack Overflow or another appropriate Stack Exchange network site. Third-party plugins and themes are off-topic for this site; they are better asked about at their developers' support routes.

Improve this questionI’m using Fluent Forms on my WordPress site to collect event submissions, and I’ve connected it with Make (Integromat) via webhook. The webhook sends the submitted form data to Make, which then uses the WordPress “Create a Post” module to create new events using The Events Calendar Pro.
The events are successfully created with the following settings:
post_type: tribe_events
post_status: publish
Custom fields like EventStartDate and EventEndDate are set using metadata
_EventStatus: confirmed is also being set in the metadata (though we also tested without it)
Everything seems to work correctly — the event appears in the WordPress backend as a published event with future dates.
However, we are experiencing the following issue:
The event does not appear in the frontend calendar or list view unless we manually open the event in the WP admin and click “Update.”
Only after manually saving or updating the post does it become visible on the /events listing page.
We have cleared caches, confirmed the PHP version (8.1.32), ensured that the plugin is licensed and up to date, and verified that no category or language filters are hiding the post.
We suspect that there may be some initialization, cache refresh, or internal hook that is triggered only when the post is manually updated via the WordPress UI, but not when created through the API or Make.
Our setup: Fluent Forms → Make (webhook)
Make creates the post in WordPress via REST API
The Events Calendar Pro is installed and licensed (v7.6+)
WP version: 6.8.1 / PHP: 8.1.32
Is there any hook or process we should trigger after automated creation to make the event fully visible in the frontend calendar?
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
