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?
