# Avoiding duplicate entry

 * Is there any way to use this automation tool to reduce duplicate entry? I have
   two custom post types, the custom fields are user name, user image, user email
   and user phone. The personal info I need in each custom post type is identical
   so I’m wondering if you can automate the duplication of that data to be copied
   to the second custom post type database. I have to do this because I need to 
   display the data in two separate single post template designs on the front end.
 * Thanks,
 * Jim

 * Hi [@jstrategy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jstrategy/)!
 * I would be more than happy to assist you today.
 * AutomatorWP is a pluguin that allows you to create automations, previously a 
   series of triggers and actions are defined, once they are fulfilled then AutomatorWP
   executes that automation.
    In this link you will find more information about 
   how AutomatorWP works and an explanatory video. [https://automatorwp.com/docs/getting-started/what-is-automatorwp/](https://automatorwp.com/docs/getting-started/what-is-automatorwp/)
 * To duplicate posts on the same site you can use the following automation:
    Trigger–
   User publishes a post Action – Create a post
 * In case they are different sites you can use the Webhooks add-on, one of the 
   features of this add-on is to send data from Site A to Site B, for example:
 * SITE A
    Trigger – The user creates a post Action – Send data from the post with
   Webhook to Site B
 * SITE B
    Trigger – Receive data from Site A Action – Create a post with the post
   data from Site A
 * In this link you will find the documentation and a video where we explain how
   Webhooks works. [https://automatorwp.com/docs/webhooks/](https://automatorwp.com/docs/webhooks/)
 * Hope it helps!
