I would like to automatically create a post (post type page) upon publishing a new event in event espresso.
Since event espresso events are custom post type events it should trigger for the followign code:
function post_publish() {
// A function to perform actions when a post is published.
// Gather post data.
$my_post = array(
'post_title' => 'My post',
'post_type' => 'page',
'post_content' => 'This is my post.',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_author' => 3
);
// Insert the post into the database.
wp_insert_post( $my_post );
}
add_action( 'publish_post', 'post_publish', 10, 2 );
However, it does not.
The code works for normal posts. For example, when I publish a normal wordpress post the snippet is hooked and creates the My post page.
However, it does not work when publishing an event espresso event.
Why not?

Hi there,
Because it’s a custom post type. The WP Codex explains how to trigger this action for a custom post type:
To trigger this action for a custom post type, use publish_{$custom_post_type}. e.g. if your post type is ‘book’ use:
add_action( 'publish_book', 'post_published_notification', 10, 2 );

Thus, in order to trigger it for an EE Event it would be:
add_action( 'publish_espresso_events', 'post_published_notification', 10, 2 );
Is there a list of all custom post types from EE?

The action hook name is correct, but you’ll need to change the callback function name of course.
There are two public custom post types registered by the EE plugin:
espresso_events
espresso_venues
