Function for when new custom post type is created should do something

Question

I've been searching in the codex from wordpress and search through google but didn't find any function or any code that can help me.

I want to build a conditional that when there is a new custom post type should do something automatically(in one case specific create a marker in a map).

Any suggestion?

Thanks

You can do something on a post creation with the action save_post_...

$customPostType = "custom";


add_action("save_post_" . $customPostType, function ($post_ID, \WP_Post $post, $update) {

    if (!$update) {
        // creation of the custom post
        // ...

        return;
    }


    // updating of the custom post
    // ...



}, 10, 3);
