How it’s called:

ee()->extensions->call('before_channel_entry_insert', $this, $this->getValues());

after_channel_entry_insert($entry, $values)

Parameter Type Description
$entry Object Current ChannelEntry model object
$values Array The ChannelEntry model object data as an array
Returns NULL void

Called after the channel entry object is inserted. Changes made to the object object will not be saved automatically. Saving the object may trigger the save and update hooks.

How it’s called:

ee()->extensions->call('after_channel_entry_insert', $this, $this->getValues());

before_channel_entry_update($entry, $values, $modified)

Parameter Type Description
$entry Object Current ChannelEntry model object
$values Array The ChannelEntry model object data as an array
